Caribbean Journal Highlights the Charm of Pinel Island
Recently featured in Caribbean Journal’s “Beach of the Day” series, Pinel Island is one of those spots in St. Martin that feels like a Caribbean escape. Just a short ferry ride from the Cul de Sac area on the French side, this tiny offshore island is known for its calm, clear waters, soft sand, and easygoing atmosphere.
There are two beach bars, Karibuni and Yellow Beach, both offering great food, cold drinks, and friendly service. Whether you’re up for a full seafood lunch or just want to sip something cold in the shade, it’s a great place to spend the afternoon. The beach itself is perfect for relaxing, swimming, or just enjoying the view. You can rent snorkel gear, walk the short trail around the back of the island, or do nothing at all.
If you’re looking for that perfect “escape for the day” feeling, Pinel Island should definitely be on your list!
