In St Martin, a Dreamy Little Caribbean Gem

Pinel Island in St Martin.

You’re dreaming about it. 

No matter where you are, the Caribbean is always calling.

In times like these, just a daydream of a pristine Caribbean beach, a breezy beach shack, a cocktail on the beach, can bring a smile and a moment of serenity. 

Today, we’re thinking of Pinel Island, the tucked-away jewel off the coast of Cul de Sac in St Martin, long a Mecca for beach aficionados. 

There are two beach bars: Karibuni and Yellow Beach, each with fresh fish, hand-crafted cocktails and service right on the sand. 

And then there’s the sand itself, shallow and perfect for bobbing around on a quintessential Caribbean afternoon. 

It juts out around the corner, brilliant white sand surrounded by St Martin’s vibrant green hills, a stunning little isle. 

Take a digital journey to Pinel Island with the latest Caribbean Moment video, the footage of which was shot just a few months ago in St Martin.
