Sightseeing is very popular because of the good year-round weather and natural beauty of the area. From the top of Cole Hill Bay, you can view the nearby islands of Anguilla, St. Kitts and Nevis, especially on a clear day. You can take a walking tour around the island or a boat tour if you do not want to walk very far. You can also ride in a glass bottom boat and see the coral reefs beneath your feet with all their living plants and animals.

St Maarten also has a vibrant nightlife, with many venues for guests to visit in the evenings. If you enjoy dancing, you can stop in one of the nightclubs along the Maho Promenade to meet new people and enjoy lively music. The Maho Promenade also hosts a nightly street carnival. If you prefer a more relaxed evening, you can take a dinner cruise on one of the catamarans around the island.

If you like water sports, there are a variety of activities you can do there to keep busy. You can go water skiing, windsurfing or jet-skiing, or try kite-surfing. If you are feeling adventurous, you can also try parasailing or skydiving at Orient Bay. Do not be afraid to try new things, even if you feel nervous at first.

Many people choose to travel there for their honeymoon or a romantic getaway. For these couples, there are many things to do. Couples can get a massage together in a local spa, or enjoy a sunset dinner on a catamaran cruise. You can even get married there, by booking a venue and hiring a local wedding planner.

There are many sidewalk cafes and duty free shopping venues in St. Maarten. The sidewalk cafes are interesting places to relax and watch people go by. The boardwalk in Phillipsburg offers many shops for tourists to visit to purchase mementoes of their visit. There is also a marketplace in Marigot with stalls and stores that sell local crafts and souvenirs. In the Maho Village, there are more than forty boutique stores to shop in. The U. S. Dollar can be used everywhere in St. Maarten, making shopping convenient for tourists.

Before you being to plan your activities, decide when you want to visit the island. You can go in the summer months, although you will want to be careful that the place is not overcrowded due to large amounts of tourists visiting at the same time. You can also visit in the winter months. If you do visit in the winter, the weather will likely still be pleasant, however, you will need to check if the activities you want to do will still be available, or whether they are just seasonal. You should check this ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

Whatever you are interested in, your travel agent should be able to help you coordinate various activities during your stay. Many agents have contacts in the tourist industry that they get information from, so they may know about deals and packages that the ordinary traveler does not, so it is a good idea to ask about these.
