About St. Maarten
St. Maarten/Sint Maarten is the split island — Dutch south (party, casinos, Maho Beach plane landings), French north (quieter, better food, topless beaches). The island is tiny (37 square miles) and easy to explore. The beaches are stunning, and the food scene is great. Hurricane Irma (2017) devastated it; recovery is ongoing.
