Family Overview: Saint Maarten and Saint Martin
For more than 350 years these two nations have lived side by side on a 37-square-mile island. And with no check points or roadblocks, travel is seamless—except for the traffic—between French Saint Martin and Dutch Saint Maarten. While both sides are well-developed—no sleepy Caribbean idylls in either section—Phillipsburg, the Dutch capital, offers more shopping and caters to the hordes of cruise passengers. Browse the jewelry, crafts, linen, leather, and other boutiques lining Front Street and haggle with the vendors in Back Street's Market Place, but deals can be found in Saint Maarten as well as the French Saint Martin, both duty free ports. On the French side look for discounts on French perfumes, cosmetics, and crystal. (The Dutch side, for those 20-somethings interested, has gambling casinos).Read More
