Creator's Key Takeaways

the french side versus the dutch side who's got the best beach you're gonna love this video

the shopping was a disappointment i have to be honest in all of the times of coming to saint martin there was just a buzz of activity

our recommendation everyone until things get turned around in phillipsburg is to definitely get set up with a shore excursion or head over to the beach

the saint martin in the north is absolutely stunning and there is so many great places to go

The 87 square kilometres (34 sq mi) island is divided roughly 60:40 between the French Republic (53 square kilometres (20 sq mi)) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (34 square kilometres (13 sq mi)), but the Dutch part is more populated than the French part. The division dates to 1648. The northern French part comprises the Collectivity of Saint Martin and is an overseas collectivity of the French Republic. As part of France, the French part of the island is also part of the European Union. The southern Dutch part comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The islands were also informally known as the Dutch Antilles.
