Parasailing and snorkeling

[llist]

Good morning... DH and I will be in St. Martin in early September aboard the IOS.. we would like to go parasailing and then find a nice beach to rent chairs/umbrella and do some snorkeling. We've been to St. Martin twice before and have done Bernard's tour (loved it), Maho Beach and shopping. Would like to get some recommendations for beaches with good snorkeling and parasailing companies. Thanks :)

#1SXM Watersports has parasailing right off the beach in Phillipsburg. Not sure that's a good snorkeling spot though.

 

There were a couple of excursion companies up at Orient Beach that offered parasailing. Not sure how the renovations along that stretch would affect the outing. But you are close to Dawn's Beach which is a good snorkeling spot. Or you could head over to Pinel Island. On the other side in Grand Case is Creole Rock which offers some of the best snorkeling on the island. Not sure if there's parasailing along that part of the island. Contact Creole Rock Water Sports or Grand Case Beach Club for information.

Thanks for the info :) I will check them out. We went to Orient last year and loved it. Would love to be able to go back there and parasail there. I'm not much into snorkeling but DH loves it so trying to accomodate him lol.
