Saint Martin - Antigua
Saint-Martin is an island of the Caribbean with an area of 87 square kilometers. The northern part of the island belongs to France, the southern to the Netherlands.
The island has the world's most unique airport - Princess Juliana Airport. Airplanes land directly above the heads of tourists, because the runway starts from Maho Beach.
In the Dutch part of the island are the best beaches, for example, Mullet Bay beach, Maho beach, Orient beach. Orient Beach has a lot of water activities for every taste.
The capital of the Dutch part of the island is Philipsburg. Here you will find examples of early colonial architecture. The city also has nine small churches and a very beautiful botanical garden.
The capital of the French part is Marigot. The main monument to Marigot is Fort Louis Fortress.
Antigua - Martinique
Barbuda and Redonda. The island of Antigua is the largest. It has 365 beaches - a paradise for lovers of a relaxing relaxed vacation combined with modern infrastructure. The island of Barbuda is completely coral. The capital of the state is St. John's.
Of course, the main wealth of this island nation is its nature: the Caribbean Sea, coral reefs, white sand beaches, cliffs and caves.
Not surprisingly, water sports are popular on the islands - windsurfing, diving, yachting. There are also several equipped golf courses.
If you are interested in architecture and history, then be sure to visit the capital - St. John's. Fort Barrington offers spectacular views, and Fort James keeps within its walls the history of the islands, because it was erected in the 18th century. In the English harbor there is a house-museum of the famous Admiral Nelson, who once commanded a naval base in Antigua.
We go around the island of Martinique
The island of Martinique - one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, is the overseas department of France. The capital of the island is the city of Fort de France. In the city center is La Sawan Park with palm trees and fountains, and in the southern part - Fort Saint-Louis. The main cultural attractions of the capital are the Scholscher Library, the Museum of the Department of Archeology and the Museum of Ethnography.
If you want to try real Caribbean rum, head to the city of Sainte-Marie. Here it began to be produced back in 1660. Today, the old St. James Plant was converted into the Rum Museum, where you can see the technology for making this drink, as well as try different varieties of rum.
The best beaches in the country are located in the southern part of the island. The picturesque Etan de Salin Lake is also located there.
