Creator's Key Takeaways

We love St. Martin. You can still see the cruise ships in the background, too. Everything's slow.

We are starting our bar crawl slash food crawl because we're going to eat a little bit too at the layback beach bar.

This is by far the best view of any of the places we've been.

It was by far the best roads and ramen in the Caribbean.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use sunscreen to avoid sunburn.
Walk all the way down the boardwalk for better prices and a more quiet atmosphere.
Water taxi tickets are cash only; buy them near the water taxi for convenience.
Start your bar crawl at the end of the boardwalk for a more relaxed experience.
