Netherlands Antilles: Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten/St. Martin
Netherlands Antilles: Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten/St. Martin
The Dutch Caribbean islands of Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten each have a very different character. On St. Maarten you can enjoy sun-baked, sandy beaches. On Saba one can follow the trail to the top of a dormant volcano, 877 m. high Mt. Scenery, covered by a magical cloud forest. St. Eustatius, finally, offers peace and quiet, and a rich history.
