Everyone enjoys going somewhere interesting on holiday. St Maarten is a beautiful island in the northeast Caribbean which lies about three hundred kilometers east of Puerto Rico. The main airport, known as Princess Juliana Airport is often used to refer to the island. In 2007 this airport handled over one hundred and three thousand aircrafts and over one and a half million people.
This airport serves Dutch speaking parts of this island and on the French side, there is another called L'Esperance Airport. It is known for its very low height flyover landings as the end of the runway is very close to the Maho Beach. Many tourists make their way there just to see the airplanes land and take off. If standing behind the aircraft while it is revving its engines to take off, one has to really hold on to the fence as the force of the wind is tremendous.
One activity that needs to be done is the Snorkeling shore excursion. The duration is about two and a half hours where one can head a two person inflatable water boat to view the amazing scenery of the beaches or snorkel at Happy Bay or Baie Rouge to see the exotic marine life. The main boat will be close at hand to offer something cool to drink and where the snorkeling equipment will be kept until desired.
The first phase is only a short one and it is to upgrade all amenities and improve the level of service at different points. The widening and strengthening of the runways as well as increasing the volume of the taxiways have been dealt with as well. This phase was completed in 2001.
During ones stay there will be an opportunity to kite surf. Lessons will be given by experienced instructors where they will show one how to lift and steer as well as to body drag. Once given the all clear standing on the board with the wind taking you away one can feel totally free. As each lesson is personalized to give undivided attention they are limited to two people at a time.
This island is of a tropical monsoon climate that tends to have a dry season from January through to April. The rainy seasons are from August to December. The temperature does remain fairly consistent during the year ranging from 20 degrees Celsius to 34 degrees Celsius. They do have the occasional thunder storms but these rarely exceed eighteen days throughout the year.
In 1648 both the Dutch Republic and the French decided to divide the island between them and they both signed the Treaty of Concordia. This took place at the top of Mount Concordia and the terms where that the people would co-exist in an accommodating manner. It wasn't until 1817 that the borders where finally agreed upon and set in place.
Happy Bay beach on the French side of the island is fairly empty. There are no restaurants but plenty of palm trees, sea and sand. This beach is for those that prefer to be where nature takes over but it is advisable to leave before dark as there is no help if an accident happens once the sun sets.
