Things to do in St. Maarten

Legend has it that a Dutchman and a Frenchman did a walking competition to divide this island in half. Today, that means you can explore a unique combination of these two cultures — with a Caribbean twist — and visit both capital cities. Ride a horse along the stunning Caribbean beaches or spend the day kayaking through the lagoons. And don’t miss the delightful Little Bay Beach: a small, quiet resort beach where you can stretch out and get some much needed R&R. The bright turquoise waters are calm and perfect for wading or trying your hand at snorkeling.
