Best beach with kids? Orient, Mullet, or Maho?

[vega]

Hi, we're traveling with our young kids, 2 and 6 and looking for a nice beach not too far from the dock. We've been to Orient and liked it but are considering Mullet or Maho. Any other beaches to consider? Is there one you'd recommend? A bonus would be a restaurant, bathrooms, and beach activities (jetski).

 

Thanks,

Lana

At those ages, I can only recommend le Galion.

It's popular with local families and is actually known as 'Baby Beach'. Just do a search here or online.

 

Facilities, but no jetskis here or at Maho or at Mullet.

Thanks, gtaylor. It looks very pretty. Why do you recommend this beach, compared to the others?

Sorry, missed this earlier.

 

Le Galion has very dependable small wave action that is perfect for the kids, and a very shallow walk-out into the water.

 

Other beaches can be very unpredictable.

 

Both Maho and Mullet Bay Beach can have VERY high wave action from time to time and often have steep dropoffs as you enter the water. Mullet's bathroom facilities are currently limited to a port-a-potty. (pay)
