Marigot is the capital of the French part of St. Maarten. It’s a typical Caribbean town, complete with colorful houses, small streets and a relaxed atmosphere. The climate will help you adjust to the pace of life on the island, but if you want to do more than sip piña coladas, you’ll find plenty to do. Visit the old fort St. Louis, overlooking Marigot bay, the French Quarter (Orleans), and Paradise Peak. But Marigot’s main draw is to just be there and enjoy one beautiful day after the other.
Ports
Nassau is the capital city of the Bahamas, founded in 1670 by the British. In the early 18th century it was a pirate center, with many infamous pirates dwelling there. The town is full of colonial architecture and its tropical location and busy port makes it a popular tourist destination. Try the local rum and cigars, and don’t forget about the food! Follow up with a relaxing time on a white beach or try one of the many offered water sports for an adrenaline kick.
