Not really comparing beaches. We have been going to St. Martin over 20 years. Well aware of the conditions that can happen at Mullet. On calm days it is gorgeous there. Just thinking with a toddler and 3 older siblings, and not wanting them to actually see the sights at Orient Beach. Galion might be the beach to go to. They will only be on the island for 6 days. Our fave would be Orient.
