St. Maarten is an island with a split personality, thanks to an international border between its two sides: Dutch St. Maarten to the south, French St. Martin to the north. Its capital, Philipsburg – a popular stop for cruise ships – began as a Dutch trading center, and forts around the city are reminders of its strategic importance in St. Maarten’s history. Bustling Front Street in Philipsburg beckons shoppers with hundreds of duty-free shops. Phillipsburg also has a host of bars and restaurants to enjoy.

There are 36 sugary sand beaches to visit; one favorite strip is Cupecoy Bay Beach near the Dutch-French border, and windsurfers head to busy Maho Bay Beach, located near the airport.
