Afternoon | Strolling through Marigot in Search of Street Art
A coastal walk borders the waterfront in Marigot. It runs along the circular marina of Fort Louis, then the ferry terminal around which several “lolos” are based. These are traditional Creole food restaurants, including the well-known “Chez Coco” which stands proudly in the market square. With plastic tables and oilcloth coverings, it is in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere that you can sit down to enjoy the best colombo, fish blaff, fried conch, or Creole dishes accompanied by rice and peas or plantain bananas.

If curiosity still calls after these spicy delights, you can continue walking along the waterfront and spot street art by the Saint Martin-based collective Wall Art, as well as Guadeloupean artists MaShin’Art and Jimmy Sheik, who are gradually dressing the walls of Marigot in a thousand colors.

Morning | Hiking the Sentier des Froussards Saint-Martin is crisscrossed with trails that explore its terrain. The “Sentier des Froussards” is a coastal hike that skirts the Red Rock site and connects Anse Marcel to Grandes Cayes Beach. Spanning 4.5 kilometers through an untouched forest, it requires good hiking gear and takes about three hours, offering unique views of the nature reserve it passes through, home to 182 plant species and 25 animal species.

Evening | Watching the Sunset
At sunset, head to the west-facing coasts to watch the sun dip below the horizon. A short and easy walk connects Anse Des Pères to the port of Galisbay, offering beautiful views of the western part of Saint Martin. At the far end of the island, the large and less frequented beach of Baie aux Prunes is also an ideal spot to admire the sun setting into the Caribbean Sea. This is a must-do when visiting Saint Martin for a week.

For a trendy alternative, head to the Grand Case Beach Club, one of the island’s most popular hotels, and its restaurant, the Sunset Café. This spot is ideal for dining outdoors, facing the sea and enjoying the sound of the waves.

Morning | Walking on Îlet Tintamarre
Facing the northern tip of Saint-Martin, Îlet Tintamarre is a wild piece of land within a nature reserve. It’s accessible by private boat or traditional Antillean fishing boats from Cul-de-Sac, offering deserted beaches and trails that lead to the remnants of a railway and an old airfield.

Afternoon | Relaxing at Îlet Pinel’s Yellow Beach
Îlet Pinel is smaller and busier, known for Yellow Beach where you can lunch under thatched roofs. The island also offers secluded paths and a peaceful, north-facing beach, ideal for tranquil relaxation. Hats and sunscreen are recommended on these shadeless islets.

Morning | Climbing to the Top of Pic Paradis
At 424 meters, Pic Paradis is the highest point on Saint-Martin. The ascent begins from the village of Rambaud through lush vegetation to a small parking area, followed by a 20-minute hike to the summit. Alternatively, start from Loterie Farm, a former sugar plantation turned into a private nature reserve with a bar-restaurant and a spring water pool. The total hike takes about three hours, with some steep sections. The panoramic view from the top encompasses the entire island and even neighboring islands on the horizon.

Afternoon | Visiting Amuseum Naturalis
This small museum, located in an old colonial house in Quartier d’Orléans, offers insights into Saint-Martin’s culture and nature, including endemic species and traditional construction techniques that charm the local architecture. A botanical garden illustrates how the fauna has adapted to the island’s climate. A section also covers Caribbean herbal medicine, providing a comprehensive and enriching visit to understand Saint-Martin better.

Morning | Experience the Thrill of the Flying Dutchman
In the Dutch part of Saint-Martin, Rainforest Adventures offers exciting activities. The Sky Explorer chairlift reaches the top of Sentry Hill for a 360° view. A giant slide allows you to rush down on tubes. The most thrilling attraction is the zipline known as the Flying Dutchman. Seated in a harness, you zip down 853 meters of cable at speeds of up to 56 km/h, making it the steepest zipline in the world.

Afternoon | Marvel at Underwater Wonders
Great snorkeling spots are accessible from the shores of Mullet Bay or Dawn Beach, though currents require caution. More secluded dive sites, accessible only by scuba diving, include the wreck of the HMS Proselyte, a 32-gun Royal Navy frigate that sank in 1801 after hitting a reef.

After returning the rental car, we head to the airport to conclude our trip.
