St. Maarten/Martin Suggestions

[JasmineC]

Last one....we will be visting St. Martin as one of our ports of call in February.

 

I have on my 'to do' list:

- Marigot chocolate shop

- Orient beach

- Guavaberry emporium

 

What else are MUST SEE's? Or any advice is greatly appreciated! TIA

Have you thought about checking out Maho Beach? That's what I'll be doing because I love watching planes land and take off....the beach itself is nothing to write home about from what I understand.

Are you certain that it's the chocolate shop in Marigot (French side) that you're interested in seeing? Yes, there is Hediard, at the West Indies Mall in Marigot, but the chocolates most often mentioned here are in Philipsburg, at the Belgian Chocolate Shop on Old Street.

Thanks for the tip! I have both bookmarked for our excursion.

If you do venture into Marigot, I would highly suggest a trek up to Fort Louis/Fort Marigot, on the hill above the harbour, as it has a great view of much of the island and a view of Anguilla, as well. I'd say that it is a 'must see'.

 

If you happen to be interested in jewelery, you can also view a shot of our friend's shop on Front Street, Shiva's Gold and Gems.
