Dawn Beach
St. Maarten

Dawn Beach is one of St. Maarten’s best-known snorkeling beaches, located on the island’s eastern coast near Oyster Pond. Facing the Atlantic, it often sees stronger waves than the beaches on the Caribbean side, but the clear water and offshore reef attract snorkelers from across the island. With resorts, beach bars, and beautiful sunrise views, Dawn Beach offers a quieter alternative to the busy beaches around Simpson Bay and Maho.
