From the Saint Martin World / Places
Pinel Island
Pinel is a small protected island reached from French Cul-de-Sac by boat. Its sheltered-looking western beach and walking opportunities make it a planned half-day outing rather than a roadside stop.

Keep exploring Saint Martin with our travel partners.
The short crossing changes the perspective on Saint Martin's northeast coast. Once ashore, the beach, surrounding water and island paths provide different ways to explore the small natural setting. Decide how much time to spend on the sand and how much to spend walking, while keeping the return crossing firmly in mind.
