The lake of Simpson BayThe lake does in fact consist of a body of 'briny water', though you wouldn't think so to look at it. Vladimira Dvorakova / age fotostock;
Both in Saint Martin and Sint Marteen, the beaches are glorious. There are thirty-seven of them. An enthusiasm to be tempered, if you take into account the ever more numerous hotel complexes. Luxury hotels reign supreme along the coastline. Most of them are located between Nettlé Bay, near Marigot, and Simpson Bay, near the airport.
