  • This may not a local custom but its a custom when we are there. There is (was in 1994 and 1996) a 4 story building on a cliff. It started innocently enough with cliff diving. But our hero Steve-o took it all the way up. Jumping off the building roof. And we never looked back from there.

    I really don't recommend this. It was a stupid thing to do but was SO SO fun.

    Sint Maarten/Saint-Martin is very multicultural for an island of over 75,000 people. English is the unofficial language but Dutch, Spanish, and Papiamento are also spoken. You may even think you're in France on the French side and the Netherlands on the Dutch side. It's a melting pot of the Caribbean, and many flock from other islands to make a living here. So, if possible, a small monetary tip at the grocery store to the baggers or at the casino to the waitresses won't hurt.
    Plan your trip well and bring all the items you need, I can guarantee it will be fulfilling to visit here. American Airlines flies in every day along with several other airlines. The cost will vary by season. The Carnival season kicks off in April.
