Rare nbsjcruiser Posted August 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2022 We always head to Miguel's hot beach spot for chair and umbrella rentals when in St. Maarten at Great Bay. Does anyone know if he's still there? I sent a note to his email address to reserve but no response. Its been almost 3 years since we've been there. Maybe his contact info has changed? Hopefully he's still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted August 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2022 On Trip Advisor there was a review from back in June 2022. So I'm assuming he's still there. No contact information or website listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted September 4, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I emailed him from another account and got a reply. Gmail is rather funky lately I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take one of the shuttles over to the beach area by Front Street, you get off at the main pier. His spot is to the right of that main pier/shopping spot, halfway down the beach - orange umbrellas. Nobody messes with Miguel btw. When you're heading down to his place and people ask if you want one of their spots a simple "I've got a spot with Miguel" is enough to ward even the bravest of souls away. You get a simple "ok" back as a response and they leave you alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted December 28, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Going to be in St. Maarten on Reflection in February. This sounds like a good spot but most importantly - is there access to clean rs[est rooms there? Edited December 28, 2022 by librarylady19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted January 13, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2023 We rented from somebody about halfway down the beach about eight years ago. I do not remember ? But had access to a restaurant bathroom behind us. but would be nice to have something booked ahead of time! let me know if you get more info from the email would like to reserve a spot also.

Rare crewsweeper Posted January 15, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Haven't been there post COVID so can't tell you. I think back then the loungers were 5-10 and the umbrellas 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYMAN Posted January 17, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2023 We've been to SXM probably twenty plus times over the years. There's at least 15-20 separate "vendors" that sell chairs/umbrella's etc. We always sit with Henry, red chairs red/green umbrellas. Was there a few times last year and it was $10 per chair. Behind his chairs is a beverage cart run by Ms. Bernie. Cheap buckets of beers and lots of choices. You can use the restroom at the restaurant right by her. There's lots of "3rd party" guys when you get off the water taxi trying to convince you to go to "their" vendor. They'll make a few dollars off the vendors they bring you too. Like the posts before, just say you're going to Miquel's, Ms. Bernie's or Henry and they'll leave you alone. If allowed, here's Ms. Bernie's email. She'll set you up with chairs with Henry and an ice cold bucket waiting. Tell her Mr. Bill sent you. 🙂 bernie71_4@hotmail.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUIGONATOR Posted January 30, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 30, 2023 What's your experience at this beach? I read somewhere it has very strong currents, is it for playing in water or snorkeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would not even put a toe in the water. Snorkelling? Pinel Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple buckets, float in the water and just enjoy the day. Really isn't anything under the water to see if you want to snorkel, just sand. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
