Sint Maarten

Sint Maarten combines Dutch-Caribbean urban energy with a compact island setting in a way that reflects its position on the southern half of an island shared with France. Its capital, Philipsburg, follows Great Bay on the Caribbean Sea, where Front Street links shops, restaurants and the historic courthouse. The 1648 Treaty of Concordia established the island’s French-Dutch division, a border that remains open today. Beyond the capital, Simpson Bay and the shores around the island bring marinas, beaches and the low, dry contours typical of the northeastern Caribbean.
