Long Bay beach, Sand beach in Saint-Martin, French Territory.
Long Bay Beach extends along the southwestern coast of Saint-Martin, featuring white sand and clear turquoise waters bordered by palm trees.
The beach area witnessed substantial changes after Hurricanes Maria and Irma in September 2017, which altered sections of the coastline and nearby structures.
Long Bay Beach reflects the French influence of Saint-Martin through its name, Baie Longue, and maintains connections to the island's maritime traditions.
Visitors can access Long Bay Beach through rental cars at 28 dollars per day or taxi services, with parking spaces available near the shore.
The beach sits in Terres Basses, an exclusive residential area where many affluent homeowners maintain private properties along the coastline.

The Caribbean holds beaches that have kept their natural shape and offer travelers a different view of the region. Some sit on small islands, others along coasts protected by coral reefs. Eagle Beach in Aruba draws visitors with its white sand, while Flamenco Beach on Culebra in Puerto Rico is known for its clear water. Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman stretches along the western shore, and Anse de Grande Saline in Saint Barthélemy remains secluded and backed by hills. Tulum in Mexico pairs beach with Mayan ruins, Bathsheba in Barbados shows rocky coastal formations, and Treasure Beach in Jamaica is a quiet fishing village with dark sand. Caribbean beaches vary in character and location. Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla and Long Bay in Saint Martin offer wide stretches of sand, while Half Moon Bay in Antigua stands out for its protected cove. Shoal Bay in Antigua is popular with snorkelers, Sorobon Beach in Bonaire sits in a shallow mangrove area, and Pigeon Point in Tobago features a long wooden jetty. Zoni Beach on Culebra sees few visitors, La Sagesse Bay in Grenada is lined with palms, and Varadero in Cuba runs for several miles along the northern coast. These beaches work as starting points for travelers looking to explore the region beyond the standard tourist circuit.
