El Galleon Access |
| |
This is on the east side of the island, near Orient Beach (the clothing optional beach). You have to take a boat to the spot, and the French-owned and operated staff have a boat to take you out, called the "Ecole de Surf de St. Martin". Follow signs to Galleon beach, then signs to the Butterfly farm. Go straight til you hit the beach at the end of a sandy road. |

General |
A lot of fun, and way better than doing the typical tourist stuff! Stay away from the fatties on Orient Beach, where you'll find way more senior citizens walking around naked than you ever thought possible. |
