Duck's beach (Country of Sint Maarten) is located outside the Lower Prince's Quarter settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the St.Martin island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

8 Very good

I find it perplexing how some individuals have left negative reviews about this beach. In my opinion, this location is a hidden gem that offers a serene and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Although the trek from the airport to the beach may be challenging, it is well worth the effort. I highly recommend bringing plenty of water and persevering along the path. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a breathtakingly beautiful sandy beach that is perfect for swimming. However, it is unfortunate that some visitors have constructed rock formations on the beach, which detracts from its natural beauty.

Although the beach may not be the finest on the island, it offers a pleasant sense of isolation, and the hike from Grand Case is a delightful experience. To reach Petite Plage, simply follow the white dots or arrows on the rocks. As you proceed, the markings will switch to white pieces of cloth as you pass through shrubbery. However, be aware that there are some challenging and steep sections, so this hike is not recommended for inexperienced hikers.

This beach is quite difficult to access as there is a private gate blocking the way despite Google maps providing directions. It may not be worth the effort to attempt to reach it.
