TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Cupecoy Beach Cave

The last time I visited Cupecoy was 15 years ago on a rented scooter so I don't remember much and don't think we saw a "cave" at that time.

Any advice on where we should access the beach from or park to get to the caves? I understand there seem to be a few smaller bays as well, are these in the same area? Is there a better time of day to go tide-wise?

Thanks

Many of the caves have collapsed and are gone. There are 4 beach areas with public access at the moment. Most sand, as of today, is at the Ocean Club end; 2nd best is at the opposite, Shore Pointe end. Middle and "baby" beaches have no sand now. There is free parking along the road at the Shore Pointe end, and in a lot next to the Ocean Club. It's a short walk from either to the beach. Or you can pay Dany $5 to park very close to your desired beach (enter through the gate next to the Ocean Club). Dany rents the land from the owner and the $5 goes towards paying the rent. Chairs, umbrellas, and drinks are available at both beaches.

And don't forget Dany's ribs and chicken, on Sundays he prepares rice also.
