Anse Des Sables Residence — Beachfront Condos on Marigot's Sandy Shore
Gated beachfront condominiums with private pool and direct sand access in the French capital.
Why Go
Anse des Sables — Bay of Sands — names the beach that Marigot locals claim as their own. At 66 Rue de Sandy Ground, this gated beachfront residence puts you directly on this shore with a private pool, sea-view terraces, and the French capital's markets and restaurants within walking distance. It's the rare combination of beach resort and capital city living.
The Experience
The beachfront position delivers what the name promises: sand at your feet, Caribbean water beyond, and the security of a gated complex with tropical gardens and a private pool. Units come with kitchens, balconies or terraces, and sea views that frame the sandy beach and the open Caribbean beyond. The gated design keeps the complex secure and well-maintained — important distinctions in a capital city setting. Art + Design SXM operates nearby on Sandy Ground Road, adding a cultural element to the neighborhood. CADISCO Sandy Ground handles local transportation. Pizza Chef-Chef provides casual Italian dining when you want delivery speed over restaurant formality. The Sandy Ground location connects Marigot's French capital atmosphere with the beach bar culture of the sand spit. Marigot's waterfront market, Fort Louis, and restaurant promenade are walkable. Nettle Bay's resort zone extends to the south. The Dutch side border is a short drive away.
What to Try
Swim at the private beach access before the public beach fills up. Walk to Marigot's harbor market for French pastries and fresh produce. Use the gated pool during evening hours when the beach gets dark.
Insider Tip
Anse des Sables' beachfront faces west, catching the full sunset spectrum. But the real show happens during the green flash — that split-second burst of green light as the sun dips below a clear ocean horizon. The unobstructed western view from these condos is one of the best green flash viewing spots on the island.
