Excellent video of one my favorite places in the world. Looks like you had fun! You're right about the Dutch side being the more commercialized half. Orient Beach is definitely a nude beach on one side...and what has been seen cannot be unseen! Next time you go, be sure to take the ferry to Anguilla and then go to East Shoal Bay Beach -- it will blow your mind at how nice it is there. All you need to go is your passport, since Anguilla is British. It was ~$50 round trip last time we were there and It's totally worth it. Shoal Bay often rated one of the Top 10 beaches in the world and for good reason!

@ChewsToExplore 8 месяцев назад

I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video! It truly means a lot to me. And thank you for sharing your favorite spot and the ferry suggestion. I'll definitely check it out next time I'm in the area. Thanks again!

Fun fact - if you go to the website for the Port of Sint Maarten, there is a schedule that shows when the cruise ships will be in port. Then you can plan around the crowds and you'll know when you'll have less competition for your activities. (Thanks for that tidbit, Riselle.) Also, U.S. visitors won't need power adapters on the Dutch side as they use U.S. standards.

My husband and I flew in and stayed 5 days also after coming on a cruise, that was one of our favorite vacations

To expand on a few points in your view: Caribbean Travel season is typically December to March or April it's when things tend to be more expensive for most Caribbean islands. Summer months aren't as busy and because it's hurricane season alot of things cost less and more private, also islands from Anguilla to Antigua might get tropical waves ( quick passing showers )... As regards other islands Anguilla, St Barts, and Saba make great day trips via ferry. Fun Fact about the French and Dutch sides: the actually had different curfews during the pandemic, on was 8pm and the other 10pm, regarding the Jet blast, it more dangerous for people trying to hold on to the fence, people have been blown in traffic, on the pavement where they can get injured or worse. On the beach it just pushes you on the water and blows away anything on the ground. As I was watching your initial video the rougher seas are more on the Atlantic side than Caribbean side. Y'all did a lot of beach hoping I was hoping to see y'all do more activities like ziplineing and tubing which are a must. Finally if y'all return to St. Maarten and go over to St. Barts there is a spot to watch noncommercal planes land, these little planes come in so low down hill that you literally have to duck to avoid "possibly" getting hit by their wheels.

@ChewsToExplore 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your detailed feedback! I appreciate you expanding on the points I mentioned in the video. It's great to know more about the Caribbean travel season and the differences between the French and Dutch sides. I'll keep your suggestions in mind for future videos!

Been wanting to visit for 3 years now. I was thinking about going this year for my birthday. I started bingeing most of your videos Saturday night into Sunday evening. After getting to your ST Maarten Vlog, I decided to make the trip and I’m getting ready to go to St Maarten on Feb 21-26, after spending a few days in Medellín. It doesn’t seem you go out at night to party, Any advice for the night life? Maybe chill lounge for people watching with great views? Mrs. Chew good drinks? Thanks for sharing your travel adventures!

Respectfully, September is great for relaxation and romance. If you want a quiet birthday September is great. If you want to party and turnup then Dec -May is a great time to go. A lot of places are closed Sept/Oct. and it's relatively empty.

There are no casinos on the french side... only dutch side Nudity is only allowed on the beaches of french side. St. Maarten uses 3 currencies: National money is called guilders, but we also use dollars & euros. Places do not close during any season unless its a public holiday. ....... Yess...........St.maarten is home to the steepest zipline in the world.
