Creole Rock, Saint Martin

Water sports

Sand Dollar is a great half day trip offering sightseeing, snorkeling and swimming. Your captain, Shawn, is one of our most complimented staff members. The cruise takes guests through the lagoon, along our beautiful coastline and up to Creole Rock, off Grand Case. Creole Rock is a large rock formation with a reef extending out towards to the mainland, about a mile offshore. Waters are shallow and calm and provide excellent snorkeling. The boat picks up a mooring in a large sandy patch, in about 8' of water. A large cooler provides beers and sodas, and French baguette and Gouda cheese are served to hungry snorkelers. Guests should bring towels, hats and sun block, and have bathing suits on. Underwater cameras are sold in our boutique. Non swimmers are always welcome. The boat ride is enjoyable with great views of Anguilla from Creole Rock, and refreshments included on board. This trip is very popular in the afternoon at 2 pm for combo divers and snorkelers. Often a family member would like to accompany a diver and snorkel, Sand Dollar offers this opportunity. The site is a shallow one for divers, but the reef life is great with chances of seeing the rare frog fish, puffer fish, occasional barracuda and many different varieties of reef fish.

Hop on board a spacious 40-foot catamaran and head out along the beautiful coasts of St. Martin on a day cruise.

After about an hour, continue up the north side of the island and into Tintamarre. More swimming can be done here and you can even relax on Tintamarre’s warm sandy beach.

Experience a round-the-island cruise on the Santino and enjoy snorkeling at Creole Rock and swimming in the sea at Tintemarre.

The remains of two airplane wrecks can still be found across the flat plains, as well as the original farmhouse, farming implements, and old stone walls. But it is the breathtaking white sandy beaches and marine life that will draw you to spending most of your time in the water, discovering the rich and protected underwater world. Beach, snorkel, swim, or simply grab a noodle and chill next to the floating cooler. Snorkel gear, beers, sodas, rum punch, lunch at Grand Case’s Lolo are included.
