Cupecoy Beach
A small beach beneath golden sandstone cliffs, with caves and rock walls, and one of the island's best spots for watching the sunset.
Cupecoy Beach lies at the western end of the Dutch side, near the French border. Waves have eroded the golden sandstone cliffs into caves and arches, and below them is a small strip of sand. The scenery is quite different from the island's other beaches. In the evening, you can watch the sunset from the top of the cliffs. The size of the beach depends on tides and seasons, and it can narrow in winter. Do not swim when the waves are big. Access is by steps down from the cliff top. Facilities are limited, so bring your own water.
