Grand Case Beach

Grand Case is  a town in the northern coast of St Martin. Grand Case is located on the French side of the island. From Grand Case you have a beautiful view of Anguilla, the neighboring island. 

The Gourmet Capital of the Caribbean. Grand Case is famously known for it's delicious French Gourmet food. People come from all over the island to these restaurants that are located all along the Grand Case Boulevard. Restaurants line the whole beach. It reminds me of the Boardwalk/Great Bay, on the Dutch side without the large side walking along the beach.

Grand Case Beach was beautiful. It was more of a natural beach.

 This local man was sitting on the pier watching some local kids participate in a summer camp. Kids get summer holidays from June-July off. They head back to school beginning of August.... I was fascinated by the hat he was wearing. He said he got it from Guadalupe, he paid $80 for it and it's hand made.

The reason I wanted to check out this beach was because I saw a picture of this cement pier online.

 We found two star fish. One was just on the beach and the other one was stuck to the rocks in the water.Lincoln was pretty excited about our finds.

The kids loved playing under the pier.

Lincoln didn't want to be in a picture with mom and Lacey, so that's why he got his own picture with the star fish.

The water was crystal clear the day we went, with no waves. So it was prefect for the kids to play it. We also had a blast jumping off the pier into the ocean. Little miss Lacey was also right in on the fun. She was the first to jump off. She has no fear. She loves to be doing what Lincoln is... Jumping into the ocean with my kids made for a perfect beach day.  I had a lot of fun with them. We were living in the moment and enjoying life. Perfect beach days makes it worth living in the Caribbean worth it.

We also saw a lot of fish off the pier. It reminded me of Finding Nemo, the movie. Next time we are bring our snorkels.

Grand Case as hit bad in the 1995 hurricane Luis and 1996 hurricane Bertha. Damaging a lot of the restaurants that line the beach. In the picture above you can see how the restaurants have decks over looking the beach.

We had a lot of fun at this beach. We plan to go back soon, but with dad next time.
