About This Spot

Simpson Bay Lagoon is a nice spot that is close to the French side Marigot but not far from the Dutch side Philipsburg. Flat water and has surprisingly good wind even though it comes over the mountains. It can be crowded with sailboats but you can normally find some good open space. The Lagoon is clean and there are a few schools that do lessons in the lagoon.
