We traveled to St. Maarten/St. Martin for the first time and explored the best things to do on the island! Our travel vlog includes their airplane beach (Maho Beach), nude beach (Orient Bay Beach), some seriously incredible Caribbean cuisine, a few historic sites, and more!
We're Brandi & Alan, full-time travelers and creators since 2018. We post fun vlogs and informative guides to both document our travels and help you on your own journey.

Planning your own trip to Sint Maarten/Saint Martin? Add these to your itinerary!
1. Hike the Devil's Cupper Trail (and if the weather is good, take a dip in the Natural Pool!)
2. Explore the capital of the Dutch side, Philipsburg!
3. Into Urbex? There are a lot of interesting ruins from hurricanes on the island.
4. Check out Fort Amsterdam for 360 degree views of the Great & Little Bays!
5. Snorkel the secret spot by Fort Amsterdam!
6. Eat at one of the local "lolos"... do it for us because we failed to :,)
7. Get close up to the wildlife at Iguana
8. Change countries at the French Border (or vice versa with the Dutch border!)
9. Admire the views at the Rotary Lookout Point! (Also nearby is a cool birding area)
10. Head to the most popular beach, Orient Bay Beach!
11. Feeling daring? Go "au naturel" at the nudist beach!
12. Watch the Airplanes land at Maho Beach! DO IT! It's a BLAST! ;)
13. Hike up to Fort St. Louis for sunset.
14. Try some Caribbean Cuisine at a local restaurant! (The food here is AMAZING!)
15. Visit Marigot, the charming capital of the French Side.
A bonus #.16, but unfortunately not featured in this video: Visit Grand Case, it's supposed to be an awesome laid back beach area!

I’m so happy to see such a beautiful place in the world! Your smiles make that paradise-like island even more beautiful! I appreciate your detailed explanation of historical relics. I believe you have done a lot of research! Looking at the iguana from your videos, I don’t know if they are scary or cute. Brandi’s paintings are so realistic! Brandi is definitely a hot chick, but I still have to admire your courage to go to a nude beach! I've seen the news about the airport beach. Just standing there can make people's adrenaline increase rapidly. I think it's interesting but also scary! The waitress's response in the scene where the rice fell was so funny. She must have seen the camera lens, so she wanted to resolve the embarrassment. So cute! I was completely attracted by Brandi's plate of shrimp rice, they seemed to tell me with their bright colors that they were delicious! Thank you for sharing this beautiful and awesome video, well done! 👍🥰👏🌹❤🎈🎉

If you want to go to Orient Bay on the French side it's not private. There is a guard shack but you can drive right in. Best beach and restaurants on the island. You can also find the best beach bars and one spot that makes incredible high end mixed drinks.
