St Maarten

St Maarten is the tiniest island in the world shared by two countries

From Puerto Rico, we often used to fly there for long weekends. It was always one of our favorites!

It shares a small island on the Northeast of the Caribbean with French St Martin.

When you drive from one side to the other you actually cross a “border” going from the Netherlands to France.
