Petite Plage
Petite Plage is a beach in Saint-Martin, France, featuring sandy shores and shallow waters suitable for swimming. The location has a simple coastline with minimal amenities and sits in a quieter area of the island.
The area was historically a fishing village before becoming a tourist destination in the 20th century. The beach's development reflects the island's gradual shift toward tourism.
The beach serves as a social gathering place where locals and visitors come together to enjoy the seaside. The flow of people swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing shapes the daily rhythm of the area.
The beach is most easily reached on foot or by car via the main road. Visitors should arrive early morning or late afternoon to avoid the warmest hours and find fewer crowds.
The beach attracts fewer visitors than popular neighboring beaches, making it a quieter spot. This relative seclusion allows guests to enjoy the shore and water without heavy crowds.

Saint-Martin is a Caribbean island divided between France and the Netherlands. The coastline features white sand beaches such as Orient Bay, Maho Beach, and Baie Rouge, while smaller islands like Pinel and Tintamarre sit just offshore. The interior rises to Pic Paradis, which stands 424 meters (1,391 feet) high, and is protected by land and marine nature reserves. Historic fortifications including Fort Louis and Fort Amsterdam date from the colonial period. The island shows traces of pre-Columbian settlement, including the Moho petroglyphs and the Hope Estate archaeological site. Museums in Marigot and Philipsburg document the island's history, while the Marigot Market offers local produce and crafts. Grand Case is known for its restaurants, and places like the Butterfly Farm and Parotte Ville Bird Sanctuary provide encounters with wildlife.
