Going alone to St. Maarten.
Hi all,
I am currently university student and planning to go to SXM during my winter break.
Unfortunately, none of my friends is interested to go there, so I decided to go there by myself. This is kinda compensation for my hard work. But the main reason for this trip is that st.marteen is very well known for the aircraft landing spot. Since I am taking aviation photos as hobby and that place is like paradise for me! But I am kinda worried about going alone. I honestly don't know what things there other than maho beach. What would you do if you go by yourself?
I am in Alberta Canada right now, and will stay there for 5days.
Thanks for your time,
Felix

Lots to do maho best for plane pics up close Casinos on the
Ductch side food on the french side.Marigot my fav town
less chock a block with cruise ships tourists but good
shopping on the Dutch side.
No clue about budgest but when there last a few years ago
carrentals.com out of SXM worked best for me got good deals
boots on the ground.Have personally flown there in with my own
planes in the past for close up landing views of planes
it is one of the best places in the Caribbean for this.
booking.com otel.com priceline.com good deals for hotels
it will be peak season so might be wise to book something.
Good luck!

I am reminded of our stop on a cruise at St. Maarten/St. Martin. I heard that on the French side nude bathing is permitted and on the Dutch side there are casinos. So in the one side you will lose your clothes and on the other side you lose your money! This gives you an idea perhaps of what to do?
