The Beaches of Sint Maarten/Saint-Martin (and Some Great Beachside Food!) - The Royal Tour Today I was supposed to take a ferry from here to the nearby island of Anguilla. Anguilla, a British overseas territory about 20 minutes by boat from Marigot on the French side of Saint-Martin, is kno...

While I was mainly tasked with writing about history, St. Martin is still a Caribbean island and I was able to get plenty of beach time in. Here are some of my favorite spots!

Staring down a 1000 foot hill at pastel houses below. The zip line is at the front.

Sint Maarten has what is called the world’s tallest zip line, at more than 1000 feet. This is the Flying Dutchman, and yes, it goes all the way down that. It was awesome! @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

A row of blue beach chairs lines a sandy beach with light water on the left. A mountain is in the background.

I’ve definitely had my morning coffee in worse spots than this. Life is good today. @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

A view of Seaview Beach Hotel in Sint Maarten shows tables and umbrellas, a pool behind, and then the Caribbean behind that. Seaview Beach Hotel’s beach chairs and umbrellas on soft sand with the Caribbean. Seaview Beach Hotel lit up in blue and pink at night, staring at the pool and bar.

Missing my home in Sint Maarten right now. If you are looking for a place to stay in paradise, I can’t recommend Seaview Beach Hotel highly enough. Just check this place out! @seaviewhotelsxm.bsky.social @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

Flat water, a small empty beach, and colorful empty beach chairs in Sint Maarten

A beach all to myself in the morning helps deal with the crap of the news cycle. Wishing you all some calm in your worlds.

Low stone walls and two cannon overlook brightly colored roofs and blue water below. There are some black rocks in the foreground, probably ruins of a former building.

From the ruins of Fort Louis, the French capital of Saint-Martin, Marigot, is just stunning! The fort was built in the late 18th century, but decommissioned in the 1850s. @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

Me wearing jeans and a blueish shirt at the ruins of Fort Louis in Saint-Martin with a French flag flying above. The stone walls are only somewhat complete, totally broken in places.

Back from St. Martin, and wow what a wonderful time it was! There will be 6 articles coming, starting next week, so I hope you’re all looking forward to those.

And in the meantime, we will do a couple historical threads on here. Because I love those!

A pic of me!

A white courthouse with a clock tower above, green shutters, and the flag of St Maarten blowing in front.

Philipsburg’s courthouse is the emblem on the flag of Sint Maarten. While it has been refurbished on several occasions, it is still in use today! @visitstmaarten.bsky.social
