Scuba diving around Proselyte Reef. Snorkeling and swimming and body boarding Windsurfing at Orient Beach and Coconut grove. Para sailing of Orient Beach Sky Diving at Grand Case airport Hiking – there are 25 miles of clearly defined footpaths running through the hills and along the shore. Horseback riding Best Beach for a Half-Day Visit : Mullet Bay Best Beach for the Dedicated Beach Bum : Orient Beach , aka Baie Orientale, technically, is located in St. Martin but it's an easy taxi ride from Philipsburg. The beach has a section for nudists as well as more crowded areas. You can rent water gear and beach lounges, and there are numerous bars and food shacks. Windsurfing is good here and you can rent equipment. Best Beach for Active Types : Dawn Beach for snorkeling and body surfing. Secluded Beach : Cupecoy Beach , which has caves and rock cliffs, has lots of private nooks and crannies and Dawn Beach for snorkeling. As St Maartens is 100% duty free almost anything.
