When you arrive on Pinel Island you will see a large sand spit. Behind that a stand of Coconut palm trees, and then a small hill that makes up this picture perfect paradise. There are no cars, no roads, no electricity, however you will find two beach bars/ restaurants, one is run by a Frenchman, the other is a local tiki-hut style place serving BBQ food, seafood and grilled fresh lobster as well.

Some people have been known to camp here overnight, but be aware that this is one of the few places on St Martin, which is not permitted as it is a nature preservation area!
At the Karibuni beach bar, they serve you drinks right away into the shallow water, if you wish!
