St. Maarten Activities

One of St. Martin’s great beaches is Friar’s Bay. On the road between Marigot and Grand Case (the island’s main road) you will see a prominent sign telling you to make a left turn to the beach and you will be on that road for about 4 minutes until you get to the beach. There are several restaurants on Friar’s Bay but the best known and longest standing is Kali’s Beach Bar and Restaurant.

Kali’s features some of the best local cuisine on the island and is a great place just to hang out but Kali’s is most famous for its once a month Full Moon Party. On that specific night it’s truly party time and people from all over St. Maarten, St. Martin, including tourists, pack Kali’s for an all-night (not kidding) revel with Bob Marley and other reggae artists blasting, great food and camaraderie and at midnight, the lighting of the great Bonfire which is worth the trip itself.

Kali’s Full Moon Parties have become, over the years, one of St. Maarten, St. Martin’s great traditions so if you’re a party animal and you’re lucky enough to be on-island when it’s full-moon time, this is one not to be missed.
