SAINT MARTIN
Saint Martin is an island in the Caribbean that is split between the French collectivity of Saint-Martin and the Dutch territory of Sint Maarten. Beauty abounds on the island, with bluffs overlooking pretty harbors, sandy-cliffed beaches and tranquil rocky coves where fish provide the beauty.
The northern, French side of the island is known as Saint-Martin, and is 54 km2 (21 sq mi). The southern, "Dutch side" of the island is known as Sint Maarten, and is 41 km2 (16 sq mi). The Dutch side has its own government and legal system, with its relations with the "French side" to remain unchanged. To avoid confusion between the three variations on the name, the two regions are commonly referred to as "the French side" and "the Dutch side".
