If you're seeking a varying mix of cultures with all the frills of a beach vacation, hop a flight to St. Maarten and enjoy the mix of Dutch and French influence that surrounds this Caribbean island. The French and Dutch have shared this for centuries - the Dutch on the southern half and the northern half part of French territory.

St. Maarten (also referred to as St. Martin) offers a unique vacation experience for the new traveler. The French side - known primarily for its white beaches and beautiful shoreline - capture the beauty of the island and provide a relaxing atmosphere for sun-worshipers, swimmers and divers. The Dutch side is flanked by shopping, restaurants and bars. Spend a day swimming along the shores on the French side, then stroll to the other side of the island for dinner and evening activities on the Dutch side.

Flights to St. Maarten arrive on the Dutch side. Dutch St. Maarten is widely known as a tourist hotbed for shopping. The duty-free shops welcome thousands of tourists a year who come via cruise ship or flight to St. Maarten. While the Dutch side is arguably more populated and offers more for the first-time visitor to explore, the French side is scenic and calm, providing a the necessary respite for tourists needing a break from everyday life.
