From Cul de Sac bay, a five minute ride aboard a "saintoise" to get to Pinel Islet. In the north-eastern part of the French side of Saint Martin, the sand strip is breathtaking with its heavenly scenery. Its clear blue water makes it a favourite relaxation spot for the inhabitants of Saint Martin and tourists.
