The island of Saint Martin is home to 37 white sand beaches, including the snorkeler's paradise of Orient Bay and calm waters along the Simpson Lagoon. While the island is home to naturalists' paradises like the Butterfly Farm and Loterie Farm, it is also a lively host for urban adventurers. The Philipsburg boardwalk and Atlantis World Casino are always open, and with annual events like the Saint-Martin Carnival, it is easy to fill your travel itinerary.
While there is no physical barrier, Saint Martin is divided between the French St. Martin and the Dutch Saint Maarten. Most flights will arrive at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) on the Dutch side, but travel between the two sides is virtually unrestricted. Rental cars make an excellent choice, but you can also take the local bus system between the capitals of Petersburg and Marigot. Most of the "buses" are actually colorful vans that display their destination.
Trade winds grace Saint Martin with one of the most stable Caribbean climates. The average temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and nighttime temperatures rarely drop below 68 degrees. St. Martin hosts a number of annual festivals, including cultural events like the Arrow Root Jollification and the Billfish Tournament, the Caribbean's largest fishing tournament. Travelers visiting from January to April can take in local culture, food and crafts every Tuesday at Grand Case's Harmony Nights.
