There’s just about always a breeze here at Orient Bay on the French side of St Martin, where the beach bars abound, the food is world-class and the energy never stops.

You can spend a week here and try a different beach club each day, some rustic shacks of wood and others Ibiza-style lounges on the sand.

But the star remains the shoreline here, with the rhythmic lap of turquoise and the brilliant white sand.

In the latest Caribbean moment, pull up a chair and savor the sights and sounds of a perfect French Caribbean beach.
