Marigot Vacation Rentals Place You Where French Meets the Caribbean
Marigot is the capital of the island of St. Martin, an island which is both French and Dutch. Marigot sits on the French side, a small town with just four streets and quaint colonial architecture. Indulge in laid back meals or coffee at the sidewalk bistros or stroll the harbor front with fresh pastries from a local bakery. The opulent little shops will make you feel like you're in Paris, but the sparkling blue ocean and tropical breezes are all about the island groove. As an added bonus: shopping is tax free! Soak up the French Caribbean relaxation and extravagance from Marigot vacation rentals or, for even more luxury, consider Marigot villas.
Browse Produce and More Like a Local at Marigot's Market
On Wednesdays and Saturdays near Fort Saint Louis, an open air market draws crowds of people interested in purchasing locally grown and crafted items. There's a hustle and bustle as tourists and islanders browse tropical produce and fruit from home gardens, spices, fish, artisan wares like fabrics, paintings, and more. Try the food as you wander, and enjoy the breeze from the harbor at this popular local institution.
St Maarten Resorts Are Full of Fun
The ocean is at your doorstep in St Maarten, so take advantage of the turquoise waves from your Marigot vacation rental. Swim and sunbathe at Orient Beach, Marigot's most popular beach with sports and bars, as well as a nudist section. Prune Beach is where the surfers catch their waves, and Rouge beach is often touted as the island's most beautiful stretch of sand with great snorkeling. You can also visit a neighboring island like Anguilla or Prickly Pear for a day excursion across blue seas and onto new white sands. Other boating trips are available too: dinner and/or sunset cruises, pirate adventures, and fishing.
