St.Maarten!


Have you ever wanted to go on vacation to a beautiful, warm island with breathtaking beaches? Well if that's what you're looking for then you should go to St.Maarten! St.Maarten is just a short trip away, located in the Caribbean. There is so much to do in St.Maarten, you can shop in duty-free stores and you can also participate in water sports like swimming, boating, and snorkeling!


The island is also very culturally diverse, the area is divided into a French side and a side owned by the Netherland Antilles, the Dutch. On the French side there is great food, entertainment, and beautiful beaches! The Dutch side also has fantastic beaches along with many opportunities for fun! When I went to St.Maarten one of our favorite places to visit was the Westin resort. At the Westin there is a beautiful pool and beach but the best part of the resort is the casino. The Dawn Beach casino has a great deal of roulette and blackjack tables as well as many slot machines to gamble on.

Another great thing to do in St.Maarten is to rent a boat for the day. When you rent a boat you have the opportunity to explore many different beaches of the island. You can also visit smaller islands in the surrounding area that you may not be able to reach by car. St.Maarten is filled with many other great things to do but the only way to find out is to go! The island is known as the "friendly island" but there is much more to look forward to!
