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.

Sea grape trees grow on the crumbled foundations of the 18th century warehouses that once lined the harbour of Oranjestad. The warehouses fell into disrepair once US trade started to bypass the island around 1800. Photo Mick Palarczyk. [ANTILLES.stEUSTATIUS 25.589]
