SnickersnPepsi Posted August 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I heard this is one of the nicest beaches for someone who just wants to lay out and relax in the water and sun. But people say it's close to Maho beach. Do you hear the airplanes from over there? Would you recommend another beach that is quieter but still nice or is this one good?

mominva Posted August 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2014 My family of 5 just visited Mullet Bay Beach last week (July 30, 2014). It is stunning. You can see incoming planes, but I don't remember hearing them. There is a parking lot and a bar. We paid $15 for 2 chairs and an umbrella. It wasn't crowded, but we were the only ship in St. Maarten that day. Two catamarans and 3 small motorboats (not at the same time) anchored in the bay. The passengers just stay on the boat or float around in the water. They don't go on the beach and are probably there for about an hour. I don't think I saw anyone on the beach with Royal Caribbean towels. We did not want to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted August 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2014 We were just there in May. Yes, you can see the planes come in, but we didn't hear them. It was a wonderful day. I have TONS of pictures in my review if you are interested (listed in my signature line). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mitsugirly Posted August 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Is there a bathroom and food? There is a food stand there for food and drinks. There's no "restroom" facility there, but they do have an outhouse at the entrance. The day we were there, it was clean and "fresh" smelling. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brauchtj Posted October 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 27, 2014 For those of you that visited... was it hard to get a taxi back to the boat? I've read that there aren't many taxis that go to Mullet Bay. That's what I'm most concerned about. I don't really want to have to walk to Maho Beach to grab a taxi.

gtaylor Posted October 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yes, it may be difficult to get a taxi at Mullet Bay Beach. You can ask the driver that takes you there to return for a pick up, but unless you can negotiate a 'pay when you take us pack to the Cruise Facility' option, you can not count on it 100%. The walk back out to the hotels and the entrance to Maho from the parking area at Mullet is on the order of 15 minutes or a bit less. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a taxi stand at the pharmacy in the Maho Entertainment area. You will see it on the way to Mullet Bay. It's no more than a 7 minute walk from Mullet Bay beach.

gtaylor Posted November 1, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 1, 2014 If there's not a taxi near the Pharmacy, it's less than another 200 yards down to the Sonesta/Royal hotel lobbies, opposite the Casino. Shouldn't be a problem finding a taxi there. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bup1224 Posted November 8, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It is only a 15 minute or less walk to Maho area. We took the bus back to Front Street for $2 each. Caught it in front of the Sonesta hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
