Baie Nettle - A Lagoon Beach

beaches Mar 1, 2026

Nettle Bay has beaches both on the calm lagoon and the Caribbean Sea. Since the lagoon water has not much waves, it's ideal for many watersports, especially skiing. Nettle Bay is home to a number of excellent full service hotels and is a short distance from the French side capital of Marigot.

The ocean side of Nettle Bay is not overly attractive. The beach doesn't really invite for swimming as the water is only knee-deep for a good distance from shore.
