Île Tintamarre, Nature reserve island in Saint-Martin, France.
The 250-acre Tintamarre Island features white sand beaches, red cliffs, and turquoise waters located 4 kilometers from Saint-Martin's northeastern coast.
During the early 1900s, Diederik Johannes van Romondt established a settlement of 150 people, developing agriculture with cotton cultivation and dairy production.
The island's name originates from Spanish 'tinta mar', reflecting the colors of the ocean that surrounds this now uninhabited natural sanctuary.
Visitors reach the island through boat charters departing from Saint-Martin, with trips taking approximately 15 minutes depending on ocean conditions.
The waters around Tintamarre contain a submerged aircraft runway and remnants of a railroad system from its past as an operational Caribbean air base.
