The Friar's Bay to Happy Bay Trail in Saint Martin (French side) is an easy 0.8-mile out-and-back trail that leads visitors to Happy Bay Beach along a beautiful beach-side trail.
Happy Bay Beach is accessible by taking this short trail at the far end of Friar's Bay Beach, which is approximately 0.4-miles long one-way. Happy Bay beach is a beautiful stretch of sand with rocks at one end and is well-worth the short hike in.
The trail takes visitors along the water with excellent vistas and lookout points. The trail itself is well-traveled and easy to follow, but still lightly trafficked. There's a little bit of elevation gain, but it's all easy walking. You can hike this trail in flip flops but might feel a little better with proper footwear.
Keep an eye out for iguana that hangout along the trail!
Accommodations
As of August 2019 Friar's Bay has two restaurants on it while Happy Bay has just one small drink stand.

Before you leave...
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
