Nestled in a cove around the headland from
Maho Beach, where tourists gape at the
airlines as they land at the Princess Juliana
Airport, you’ll find Mullet Bay, which despite
being damaged by hurricanes, still has
beach bars and vendors between the palms
fringing the bay. This area is not only picture-
perfect with blue waters and white sand, but
it also has excellent waves rolling in for ‘body
boarding’ enthusiasts’ enjoyment.
