Mullet bay is a great beach BUT weekends and cruise ship days you shouldn’t go. It’s the only reason for 4 stars. The water can be wild if there is swell or flat as a lake but it’s more sandy than a lot of other beaches.

Went for a day trip to Mullet Bay. We took a taxi from Simspon Bay, which cost $25. Front row chairs and umbrella cost $30. Well, worth the day! Eater is crystal clear. Water is calm. I found it could get busy, so get there early to get the best seats if you are planning to rent the chairs. I found the excursion boats coming I close to shore, which is a shame. They actually asked people swimming to move aside... the day we were there had 4 cruise ships in, but there was still plenty of room. Ate at Rosie's on the beach. We had chicken, which was very tasty. Our driver could not make it back to pick us up due to traffic (truck broke down). We hopped on a bus that was taking cruisers back to port. We ended up getting out at the roundabout near the airport at Simpsons Bay as it was quicker to walk. Due to the traffic issue a 15 minute drive took 1 hour. I would recommend not missing this beautiful beach.

Best beach!! The water is so clear and clean! This is definitely worth the trip! We went jet skiing on the beach . $80 for 30 minutes . We ate at Rosie’s on the beach , cash only but so inexpensive and good! Wear flip flops and walk out on the rocks . Mh husband and daughter kept jumping off and swimming back. We walked to Maho by the airport to see the planes takes off. Easy 10 min walk on a dirt road. Was able to get a can back from Maho to Simpson bag resort for $7 a person . Such a fun day !

Mullet Bay is one of the first stops for us when we hit the island! Beautiful, tranquil and clear water, it is the perfect spot for hanging out all day and sipping on beer & margaritas. Note - it can get crowded, and it is most busy on the weekends. If you are planning to be here on the weekends or holidays, ensure to get there around 10:30 - 11am to get beach chairs. Rosie's is a must when at Mullet.. Overall great vibe and incredible beach for swimming and watching the boats.

Really big beach. The views are beautiful and plenty of beach chairs $20 per chair. The snapper fish at Rosie’s on the beach is fantastic. If you are not a strong swimmer the waves are really strong on windy days. Overall a great experience, oh and dog friendly A+

An amazing beach with warm, clear water and ideal for swimming. There's plenty of parking but recommend to go early in the morning to get an ideal location and then enjoy the day on the beach. You can rent 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella for US$30. The attendant was pretty helpful and set up the equipment. The bar was well stocked and had quite a number of choices as did the restaurant. Will definitely recommend to plan to spend the day there.

Our favorite beach on the Dutch side of SXM, Mullet Bay is a secluded slice of paradise that can feel like your own private island -- if you get there early enough in the day. The quarter-mile stretch of sand wraps the crystal blue waters of the bay like an amphitheater, and the sky puts on one hell of a show at sundown. The surf here can get VERY rough, however, so be sure to watch out for small kids. There are only a handful of restaurants on Mullet Bay, which adds to its appeal. Da Waterhole, near the parking lot at the beach's southern end, is the quintessential Caribbean beach bar, serving up delicious cocktails, cold beer, tasty seafood and live music just steps away from the surf. Rosie's Snack Bar, just north, is a stripped-down version of the same, with lower prices and a more basic selection. And Kalatua, in the middle of the beach, is an upscale experience, with world-class cuisine and full table service. All three restaurants rent chairs and umbrellas -- Rosie's usually has the best prices, but be sure to bring cash. Mullet Bay has its own parking lot, accessed by a hard-to-find turnoff near the golf course. It can be VERY tough to find a spot after about mid-morning (especially on weekends), so anyone staying in Cupecoy or Simpson Bay should consider walking over instead. Just cut across the seldom-played golf course and you'll be on the beach in a few minutes. But however you get here, make sure to find your way to Mullet Bay during your SXM vacation -- it's one of the island's best beaches, and one our family returns to on every visit.
