Dawn Beach
A beach on the Dutch east coast for watching the sunrise. On clear days you can see Saint Barthélemy, and the nearshore reef is good for snorkelling.
Dawn Beach lies on the Dutch east coast near Oyster Pond and faces the Atlantic. It is named for watching the sunrise in the morning, and on clear days you can make out Saint Barthélemy in the distance. The rocky reef close to shore is good for snorkelling. A few restaurants and beach bars line the sand, and it is quieter than the west coast beaches. Waves can sometimes be strong, so take care when bringing children. It is about a 20-minute drive from Philipsburg.
