La Baie Nettle, St. Martin. An area between Terres Basses and Marigot. Home of @mezzalunasxm , @lacigale.sxm , @jetextremesxm and many more. Also, a great spot for kite surfing. #sxm #stmartin #stmaarten #baienettle #lebaienettle #saintmartin #frenchwestindies #islandlife #caribbean #fwi #dronephoto #dronephotography #dji #djiphantom #phantom4 #aerialphotography #caribbeandrone #dronecaribbean

Is there anything better than finding a beach without any footsteps in the sand? This is one section of Cupecoy Beach. There are numerous spots to layout while walking down the cliffs with steps going down towards the beach. The water can be a little rough in this area and there are a lot of rocks, so between that and the fact that it's a nude beach, this might not be the best place to bring children. Actually, not might...don't. Don't bring your children here. Go in the late afternoon to catch the best sun and stay for the sunset. It will be absolutely glorious. The cliffs at Cupecoy Beach glow brightly while the sun sets. #sxm #cupecoybeach #cupecoy #beach #caribbeanbeaches #nudebeach #stmartin #stmaarten #dutchside #sandybeach #caribbean #islandbeachlife #islands #sunsets #cliffs

While sitting in one of the villas in Terres Basses, St. Martin, I looked out into the ocean and saw a trimaran cruising along. This is where having a professional drone is awesome. I wanted to take a closer look at the boat and since my drone was already out from my day of work and I had a battery left, I decided to do just that. What's really fun about boats is that many of them are easily identifiable by looking at their sails or names. This boat is from @no1sxmsailing . According to their website "No1SXM is a trimaran built in St.Croix by Gold Coast Yachts. Her official name is Virgin Fire and the previous owner and builder of the yacht kept her in St.John, USVI. When the boat was built in 1996, the design was to be a racer-cruiser, but ultralight. The design includes Dyneema rigging, to keep it light and a rotating mast to add that 1/2 Knott extra boat speed. For comfort, it still has 5 big spaces to sleep & a galley with lots of working space. She is 56ft. long and 36ft. wide, the mast is 72ft. Having participated in various regattas throughout the Caribbean No1SXM made the podium on more than 1 occasion." You can take a ride on this boat on one of their daily sailing cruises, sunset cruises or private charters by visiting their website no1sxm.com . I have no affiliation with them, but since I buzzed around their boat for a few minutes, I felt as though I should give them a shoutout to make up for whatever moment I ruined with a buzzing drone above their heads. #sailing #no1sxm #catamaran #trimaran #baielongue #baielonguebeach #terresbasses #sxm #stmaarten #boatcharter #boatchartersxm #stmaarten #sunsetcruise #sailboat #dronevideo #drone #djiphantom #dronestagram #droneshots #dronepilot #aerialvideo

Did you know you can walk from Plum Baie Beach (far left) all the way down Baie Longue Beach (far right) in Terres Basses, St. Martin? It's just under a 2-mile walk. So for those who like to take "long walks on the beach", this is the experience for you. Just remember you will need to walk back after... What are some of your favorite "date spots" on the island? #terresbasses #longwalksonthebeach #frenchwestindies #stmartin #saintmartin #caribbean #dronephotography #dronestagram #drone #dji #phantom4 #aerialphotography #caribbeanisland #fwi #islandlife #longwalks #beachday #dateideas

As it snows here in NYC, I'm warming myself up with thoughts of being on Cupecoy Beach in St. Maarten. It's not working. But you know what? When the snow starts to fall here, the island starts to become busier with people getting away from it all. Get ready, St. Martin...you're about to get very busy. Unlike what you see here, most people on Cupecoy Beach choose the "No Clothing" option of "Clothing Optional." So this is something to be aware of before you go exploring this area of the island. Or if that's what you're looking for, head on over to Cupecoy Beach and let your freedom fly! #sxm #stmartin #cupecoy #cupecoybeach #nudebeach #stmaarten #islandbeaches #exploresxm #islandadventure #beachesofstmaarten #caribbeanbeach

Happy December! Last month of 2019. It's been a wild ride on this small planet that keeps feeling smaller every year. What are some goals you need to achieve before the end of the year? Did you follow through on your 2019 resolution? I didn't. Every year I have pretty big goals for myself and for the most part, I never achieve all of them. And that's okay! Because one of my goals was to go easier on myself and not stress as much and try to enjoy each day more than the next. I achieved that one this year when I turned what used to be a career goal of mine into a hobby. Without the stress of making a living off it, I was able to just enjoy it which brought more happiness than I knew it could! This is the month to start setting new goals for yourself next year. I have some pretty big ideas for myself next year. And I'll do my best to make them happen. But if they don't, there's always the following year. Are you ready for 2020? #newyears #resolutions #lifegoals #samsunggear360 #360photo #samsung #goalssetting #findyourhappiness #achieveyourgoals #december1st #samsunggear
