Sint Maarten
Duty-free buzz, jet-blast beaches, and the busiest little harbor in the Caribbean.
We're still writing the full Sint Maarten travel guide. In the meantime, here are the essentials.
The Dutch half of a single shared island, Sint Maarten is all energy: cruise ships crowding Great Bay, casinos and boardwalk dining in Philipsburg, and Maho Beach, where jumbo jets skim the sand on final approach to Princess Juliana. It is the lively, walkable, shop-till-you-drop side of an island you can drive across in under an hour.
