susibell2 Posted October 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2007 We were in Sint Maarten a few years ago and right when you got off the water taxi at one of the stops was the bar Pirates in Paradise. Does anyone know if it's still there? We had a great time there before and want to go back,but after reading about the bad quality of the water there I doubt will swim there. Anyone been there lately?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twaincruisers Posted October 26, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It was still there earlier this year. It is at 69 Front Street http://www.stmartin.com/detail.html?bid=179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susibell2 Posted October 26, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks I did end up finding that website. Is it true about the quality of the water being really bad on that beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropilot Posted October 26, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks I did end up finding that website. Is it true about the quality of the water being really bad on that beach? I don't know about now, but in May 2006 when we were there I didn't think the water looked bad at all. In fact we spent the entire day at the beach and I didn't have one complaint, or see any thing that was out of place :) Maybe that has changed between then and now.

Twaincruisers Posted November 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Someone has reported on this board several times that there is a sewage plant nearby that empties near the beach. I haven't sought to confirm that myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampira Posted April 3, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I stayed two years ago at Great Bay Sonesta and although the service there was horrible, we ended up buying down the road at Divi, the beaches were great. Never heard anything about "bad" water. Stayed last year at Divi and still heard nothing about the bad water on the beaches down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kal Posted April 3, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Someone has reported on this board several times that there is a sewage plant nearby that empties near the beach. I haven't sought to confirm that myself! There is no discharge from a sewage treatment plant. The discharge is raw untreated sewage. It enters Great Bay at both ends of the beach at the Sonesta and near the Greenhouse Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
