St. Martin Tourist Office
Ready for twice the fun in one unforgettable destination? Welcome to an island shared by two cultures and endless personality. On the French side, Saint Martin, you’ll discover the charming capital of Marigot, hilltop views from Fort Louis, and gorgeous beaches like Galisbay, Orient Bay, and Anse Marcel. Feeling adventurous? Head up to Pic Paradis—the highest point on the island—for sweeping views that are totally worth the climb. And when it’s time to eat? The French side serves up some of the best dining in the Caribbean, from chic bistros to toes-in-the-sand beach cafés.
Cross the (very easy!) border to the Dutch side, Sint Maarten, where the vibe shifts to lively and electric. In Philipsburg, Front Street is a shopper’s playground, and the casinos keep the energy going after dark. Don’t miss iconic Maho Beach, where planes fly thrillingly low overhead—it’s a bucket-list photo op!
Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, this “Friendly Island” blends European flair with laid-back island spirit. It’s easy to reach, impossible to forget, and packed with natural beauty, vibrant culture, and serious flavor.
With 37 beaches to choose from, you can go full adventure mode, plan a foodie escape, dance the night away—or simply claim your stretch of sand and soak up the Caribbean sunshine.
One island. Two nations. Endless ways to play.
