TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Windy Orient Days vs Happy Bay.

Hi Everyone,

If the wind is to much at Orient, is the place to go Happy Bay? Just wondering the wind difference between the two, logically Happy Bay would be very calm if Orient is blowing.

We usually head to Pinel when the wind is too strong on Orient.

Good call.

Happy Bay can also be windy depending on wind direction. Usually if you stay to the right side of the beach as you face the water you will be protected from the wind by the hillside. Also, not good to be nude at Happy Bay on the weekend as many residents use that beach with their kids on the weekend. During the week is no problem.
