For a bi-cultural experience, taste the water at Oyster Pond. This bay, unsurprisingly oyster-like in shape, straddles both French and Dutch territory on the east side of the island. The French half of the bay is home to most of the accommodation as well as a marina.

The Dutch side, however, boasts the best beach, Dawn Beach, which is easily accessible but that does require a certain level of willpower to leave. For a good vantage of the Pond, take the short path leading up the cactus-studded hill on the northeast (French) side of the bay.
