Pinel Island (Ilet Pinel) is a beach
Collectivité de Saint-Martin 97150 Sint Maarten
Take the ferry and grab an umbrella and 2 chairs and relax with the almost 360 panoramic views . Both drink shacks take cash and visa/MasterCard. No Amex. go when the cruise ships aren't in port !
First ferry is at 10am. Get there early (and on a day with no cruise ships ) to get the best ocean front chairs. Don't leave your bag/flops on the sand, the waves might get em!
When you dock at Pinel walk right on by Yellow Beach restaurant through the canopy of tropical trees to the other side where Karibuni (so lovely!) is located. It surely won't disappoint.
Kayak or ferry over from St Martin. Get a lounge chair for the day. Enjoy the drinks and fresh seafood from Karibuni . Very quiet , relaxing and gorgeous.
Kayak out there. The beach and water were nice, clear and calm . But snorkeling is not that great except on the other side of the island where it's more private
If you want to kayak , get their early. The walk around the island is pretty good, but ultimately you are here for the beachside drink service.
Shopping’s fun. Two bars on the island with primitive restrooms . Make sure to feed the iguanas.
Karibuni is a destination for locals and tourists who are in the know. Fresh lobsters are the only way to go.
Go on a Wednesday or Friday when no cruise ships dock in SM and loud camera-toting Americans aren't overrunning the place.
It's a great way to kill the afternoon...but the dock to get there can be gross
Small and unique
Is few bar / restaurant on this Beach but food is not very and expansive! So bring your own is best.
Les langoustes du Karibuni a ne pas manquer !
Vraiment magnifique ...
Grab a couple of chairs and forget a bout the world. If you get hungry you can pick your own lobster and they will grill it to perfection. - Cristina F
Nice beach club with a delicious restaurant (and gazebo seating!) serving seafood and French classics. - Sandra Rubinchik
Awesome beach besides the nudity. The sand is super soft. $5.00 beach chairs. - Delilah Nankoo
The lobster is amazing and the fresh fish of the day is not to be missed either. - Perry Abbenante
Espresso martini. Cool people. Feed lettuce or fruit to the iguanas. - Certainly Strange
