Kali's Beach Bar

St-Martin & Sint Maarten


Painted in Rastafarian reds, greens and yellows, Kali's has hammocks strung between coconut palms. Renowned island-wide for potent rum punches (some using house-made bush rum), it also serves cooked breakfast, burgers and grilled fish and meat. Full-moon reggae parties with a bonfire run from sunset to midnight. You can rent snorkeling equipment (€10 per day) and kayaks (€25 per hour).

The barbecue fires up daily.
