Happy Bay Beach, Secluded beach in Saint Martin, French West Indies
The beach stretches along white sand with palm trees forming a natural barrier between the shore and the surrounding vegetation.
Following the impact of Hurricane Irma in 2017, the beach underwent extensive restoration efforts to recover its natural environment.
The beach represents French Caribbean beach culture, where visitors freely practice clothes-optional sunbathing following European traditions.
Access requires a marked ten-minute walk from Friar's Bay Beach, as no direct road leads to this destination.
The beach maintains its natural state without commercial facilities, offering complete isolation from the developed areas of Saint Martin.
