With its melange of local flavors with culinary influences from its French and Dutch heritage, the island has earned its place as the gourmet capital of the Caribbean.
Although a treaty between the French and the Dutch was signed on March 23, 1648, peacefully dividing the island, it wasn’t until 1817 that the borders were finally set.
There are around a dozen dive sites with wrecks off the island’s shores.
There a convenient ferry service from Sint Maarten to the neighboring islands of Anguilla and St. Barts.
For a tasty treat, sample the guavaberry rum at the Guavaberry Emporium in Philipsburg.
