3. Flight to lovely island of Saba. Walk to the top of the mountain from Windward side. Have a lunch at one of hotels on the island. No beaches but it is a quaint little island.

4. Spend a day on Pinel Island. Drive to French Cul de Sac. Go to the end of the road and park. There are small boats that take you across the bay. There is a wonderful restaurant on this little island. The snorkeling is fabulous here also.Tell Emile Larmony if he is your boat person that Roberta Valins sent you. Find out more about snorkeling and scuba diving in St Martin

5. Spend one day at Orient Beach. There are chaises for you to rent and many good little restaurants to have a fabulous lunch. Don't shutter if your neighbor is naked. Just hope they bring a towel when they sit at a restaurant!

6. There are two museums on the island. One in Philipsburg and one in Marigot. It might be worth an hour or two.

7. An afternoon at Le Galion Beach would be nice. They have a good watersports area and the Butterfly farm is nearby. Stop to see what they have there. There is also a small zoo on the Dutch side near Madame Estates.

8. Try the lolos cooking on the beach in Grand Case. The food is wonderful and inexpensive.

9. Try a local restaurant that serves Creole style food like Yvettes, Rhumerie, or Le Creole in Marigot.

10. Go to the market in Marigot on Wednesday or Saturday morning. Fun to walk around. Also stop in at Oro de Sol and Cartier, and Little Switzerland while you are in town.

11. Hike up to Peak Paradise for a fabulous view.

12. Hangout at some of the favorite local bars. Go to Orient and look for Andy and Cheryls place.  Try the Sunset Bar on Maho Beach and watch the planes come in. Cheri's Cafe at night has the best music on the island.

13. Drive up the road to the Hotel Habitation. The road begins in French Cul de Sac. Beautiful yachts and views.

14. Stop at the local galleries to see what the local artists have to offer. Greenwich Gallery in Philipsburg is good. For a look at some wonderful imports from the Far East, go to Plantation Furniture store in Orange Grove Shopping Center. Minguet Gallery is worthwhile too.You can get beautiful fabrics at Danielle in Belvedere Shopping center.

15. Bakeries that are great are located opposite the Match market in Howell Center and in the arcade where the USA market is located in Sandy Ground. Carl's Bakery is wonderful for cakes and snacks. They have great meat cakes and other snacks for your afternoon cocktail hour. I think they have the best almond horns I ever tasted. It is on the Orange Grove Road. They have branches around the island.

16. Drive over to Oyster Pond for good snorkeling and views. Have lunch at Busby's.Dawn beach is here too. Lots of new restaurants to try also.

17. A word of advice. Do not leave valuables in your car or trunk anywhere on the island. Take whatever is important with you or leave it home. At beaches, trunks have been broken into and things were removed. Don't leave packages in trunk in town either.

18. Golf is available at Mullet Bay. It costs about $100 a round with cart.

19. Go to town when the cruise ships are not there. Shop after 5:00pm. Shops get quiet then. They close at 6:00PM. They will be open when cruise ships are in on Sunday.

20. Take a sunset sail. Again check my discount activity page where you book in advance. Take an island sail and then you can wave at your villa and tell everyone that is where you are staying.

21. Buy a local newspaper and see what is doing around town while you are there.Thursday is the day they have best things to do.
