Things to See: St. Martin and Sint Maarten
Considered an up-scale destination,
St. Martin/Sint Maarten is fully
duty-free. The shopping district
in Philipsburg, on the Dutch side,
offers some real bargains in luxury
goods while Marigot, on the French
side, is more European in flavor.
ò Cultural diversity
ò Beaches on the leeward side
are very relaxed while the
windward side offers lively
surf and sailing
ò Day trips to St. Barts and
the mountainous island of Saba
offer contrasting experiences
ò Saturday market in Marigot for
fish, fresh fruits and local
culture
ò Packaged sailing excursions
