Mullet Bay Beach - The 'Real Beach' of Maho

Just down the road from Maho Beach, this is a surfer's paradise, when the conditions are "right". Mullet Bay Beach borders on the island's only 18-hole golf course and is very popular with locals, especially on the weekends. The medical university is in walking distance, so you could also expect many students to hang out here in their limited free time.

At the southern end, sea grape trees provide pleasant shade for those who are sensitive to the sun's rays and heat. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are also available. A little snack bar cooks up hamburgers and hot-dogs and serves cold beers and soft drinks.

Mullet Bay Beach is also an ideal place to take a long stroll in search of free souvenirs. Make sure you take a little waterproof bag with you. Washed up onto the seashore are all types of tiny shells and little pieces of interestingly shaped coral that could grab your eye - great way to get a tan!

The area has seen some recent development, with the double towers of the condominium project '14' now a prominent landmark. There are several new beach bars/restaurants.
