Getting around
St. Martin as the island capital is the perfect base from which to explore. Being around the middle of the island means that you can visit all the 10 towns on the island with a bit of pedal power. Yet, there are also plenty of facilities within the town for those changeable days and those lazy days where all you want to go is go to the excellent local market and stock up, without having to go to far.
