Hotel La Samanna. Very expensive, upscale luxury resort right out of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. TEL (590) 87-64-00
LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:
Watching for celebrities on the beach.
ACCESS TO BEACH:
Just past the hotel there is a public entrance to Long Bay; a short path leads to the beach with rather informal parking on the roadside wherever you can squeeze a car in.
QUALITY OF BEACH:
A mile and a half of golden sand. The water can be a little choppy on unprotected Long Bay.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
There are great beaches for miles in all directions on this side of St.Martin/St. Maarten beginning with Mullet Bay followed by Cupecoy Bay Beach and Long Bay. Further along is Red Beach, another very popular stretch of sandy beach.
