60 Seconds at Buccaneer Beach Bar in St. Maarten
Tagged: beach bar, caribbean, kim sha beach, simpson bay, st. maarten
When we were in St. Maarten a few years ago, one of our favorite beach bars to visit was Buccaneer Beach Bar. Located just down the beach from our resort, it was within easy walking distance and allowed access to beach bars in an area that didn’t have many of them. Since then, the area has changed dramatically, with the empty area next to the Royal Palm now housing the high end Roxxy Beach Club. Buccaneer still remains on the south...

Mary’s Boon, a small resort located on Simpson Bay in St. Maarten, has always appealed to me as a possible place to stay when visiting the island. Discovering they have a beach bar (or at least a named one – The Boon Beach Bar), a fact somehow unbeknownst to me before last week, adds to the appeal.

Back in 2014, we went to Anguilla and St. Maarten for our annual Thanksgiving vacation. After much deliberation and research which included finding out how many beach bars were within walking distance of any potential accommodations, we chose the Royal Palm, located on Kim Sha Beach on Simpson Bay in St. Maarten. Seeing videos like this one, while they’re nice and lovely and all, only serve as a reminder of what I miss about...
Karakter Beach Bar – All the Character You Need in St. Maarten

Naming Karakter Beach Bar as my favorite St. Martin/St. Maarten beach bar wasn’t a hard choice to make. While the decision regarding my favorite beachfront watering hole in Anguilla required a little more back and forth in that head of mine, determining my favorite St. Martin/St. Maarten beach bar was a rather painless decision to make. In fact, I pretty much had made up my mind as soon as we visited it one evening for dinner....
