Maho Beach plane spotting, Orient Bay, catamaran sails, and duty-free shopping.
Sint Maarten/Saint-Martin is a unique two-nation island β the Dutch side (Sint Maarten) and French side (Saint-Martin) share 87 square kilometers with no border controls. The result is an island where you can have French croissants for breakfast and Dutch cheese for lunch while spending US dollars everywhere. Maho Beach's famous low-flying plane landings, Orient Bay's clothing-optional beach, and Grand Case's "Restaurant Capital of the Caribbean" make this one of the most varied islands in the region. The island was devastated by Hurricane Irma in 2017 but has rebuilt impressively.
Maho Beach β watch planes land just meters above your head at Princess Juliana Airport. Grand Case (French side) for world-class dining β dozens of restaurants on one strip. Orient Bay for water sports and beach lounging. Loterie Farm for zip-lining, hiking, and a jungle pool bar. Fort Louis in Marigot for panoramic French-side views. Simpson Bay for nightlife, casinos, and boat charters.
Rent a car ($40-60/day, drive on right) to explore both sides. No border controls between Dutch and French sides. Taxis with fixed rates. No Uber. The island is small enough to drive end-to-end in 30 minutes.
