Saint-Martin is a Caribbean island divided between France and the Netherlands. The coastline features white sand beaches such as Orient Bay, Maho Beach, and Baie Rouge, while smaller islands like Pinel and Tintamarre sit just offshore. The interior rises to Pic Paradis, which stands 424 meters (1,391 feet) high, and is protected by land and marine nature reserves. Historic fortifications including Fort Louis and Fort Amsterdam date from the colonial period. The island shows traces of pre-Columbian settlement, including the Moho petroglyphs and the Hope Estate archaeological site. Museums in Marigot and Philipsburg document the island's history, while the Marigot Market offers local produce and crafts. Grand Case is known for its restaurants, and places like the Butterfly Farm and Parotte Ville Bird Sanctuary provide encounters with wildlife.
