Friars Bay

Friars Bay (also called "Anse des Pères"), North of the French capital Marigot.To get there, head north out of Marigot towards Grand Case. A few miles off Marigot, follow the sign for Friar´s Bay and its restaurants. The ride will get a bit rough and bumpy at the end. A little off the beaten track, but well worth the drive.... It's a pretty, small, family oriented beach. The bay is well protected from the swells, and attracts also a few boats. For its calm waters, Friar´s Bay is an ideal beach for families. The sand isn't as white on this beach as other beaches on St Maarten. While playing on Friars Beach you can see Anguilla in the distance.

There's beach restaurants at both sides of the bay, and the small beach in between. But there has never been many people on this beach both times we have gone.

There's swings at this beach but no real park.

While having a great time playing at the beach the kids spotted a donkey.  From talking to others we hear this donkey hangs out around this beach and is spotted quit often from visitors.

 We also spotted some cows passing by the beach. It reminded me of St Eustatuis as we always saw cows wondering around.
