Le Galion Beach
Plage du Galion
A shallow bay sheltered by a coral reef, with glassy water that suits family splashing and makes a good beginner base for windsurfing.
Plage du Galion lies in Embouchure Bay on the south side of Orient Bay. A coral reef on the outside blocks the waves, so the water inside is very shallow with almost no swell. It is the best beach on the island for children to play in the water, and it is also a beginner base for windsurfing and kitesurfing, with lessons and equipment rentals. The bay is part of the Saint Martin Nature Reserve, where you can see seagrass beds and small fish. Facilities are simple, and local families come in large numbers on weekends.
