Nettle Bay Beach is a long stretch of sand on the French side of St. Martin, running along the shores of Baie Nettlé between Marigot and Terres Basses. The calm water, beach bars, and west-facing sunsets make it appealing, but the surrounding neighborhood has a reputation for higher crime than most tourist areas on the island. For that reason, many visitors choose to visit during busy hours and avoid lingering after dark.
