Sint Maarten

Sint Maarten is the southern Dutch part of the island of Saint Martin. In 1648, the island was peacefully divided between the Dutch and French, making it the smallest landmass shared by two nations. Philipsburg, the capital, features colonial-era buildings and the historic Fort Amsterdam. The island is famed for Maho Beach, where planes fly just overhead, creating a unique spectacle (as seen on this postcard!).
