St. Martin, Virgin
Island offers two different
lifestyles, French and Dutch.
St. Martin, Virgin
Island is a very small island to
have been partitioned between two different nations. This island is half
French- St. Martin, and half Dutch- St. Marteen. The border is almost
undetectable so the people crossing back to back without even knowing you are
entering a new country. There are no customs checks on the border on both two
sides so it is safe to travel freely throughout the island.
There are four boundaries on this island, Belle Vue/ Cole
Bay, French Quarter/ Dutch Quarter,
Low lands/ Copecoy, and Oyster Pond, confirming centuries of peaceful
cohabitation and the treaty that made the arrangement possible. Each side
managed to keep hold of the distinctiveness of its own national culture. Virgin
