Saint Martin, beautiful island, belle île Saint Martin, SXM
Saint Martin, (French: Saint-Martin; Dutch: Sint Maarten) is an island in the northeast Caribbean, approximately 300 km (190 mi) east of Puerto Rico. The 87 square kilometres (34 sq mi) island is divided roughly 61/39 between France (53 square kilometres (20 sq mi))[1] and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (34 square kilometres (13 sq mi));[2] the two parts are roughly equal in population. It is the smallest sea island divided between two nations with inhabitants. The division dates to 1648. The southern Dutch part comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The northern French part comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of St. Martin) and is an overseas collectivity of France.
On January 1, 2009 the population of the entire island was 77,741 inhabitants, with 40,917 living on the Dutch side,[3] and 36,824 on the French side.[4]
Collectively, the two territories are known as St-Martin / St Maarten. Sometimes SXM, the IATA identifier for Princess Juliana International Airport (the island's main airport), is used to refer to the island.

St. Maarten / Saint Martin - Caribbean Island - Kokomo beach
We were driving around the island and stopped to see Kokomo beach. The water looked amazing. I really want to make it to this beech next time we visit the island.
We went back to St. Maarten / Saint Martin a couple years later, and this time we visited Kokomo beach. There were too many waves, and the water is not shallow, so I didn't get in the water :(
It was a very windy beach, but we laid out in the sun for over an hour getting vitamin D - yeah!
The Caribbean islands are some of the best vacation places especially in the winter time. The water is warm and amazingly clear. We thought of moving to this island, because we loved the French side, particularly the backed goods and cappuccinos!!
St. Maarten dive site - Isabella Reef
Scuba Diving in Sint Maarten / Saint Martin with Ocean Explorers Dive Center ( Explorer's Daily Log - Monday, May 06, 2013 - Week 19 ) divesxm.com
Dive Site - Isabella reef
Isabella is a deeper reef just 5 to 10 minutes from the dive shop divesxm.com, the reef got its name from a small wooden sailboat that was sunk there on purpose in the 90's, but has since disintegrated due to passing hurricanes.
The reef has a round shape and is surrounded by sand which has become home for hundreds of garden eels, hermit crabs, stingrays and many more creatures .... at the deepest point of the reef , in 100 feet of water, there is a fairly large overhang and several holes on the reef providing shelter for bigger critters such as nurse sharks, lobsters and usual suspects like eels and crabs... The reef is mainly flat with a gentle slope of 45 degrees leading to its center 80 ft on the top of the reef it has a great variety of sponges, gorgonians covering the whole area.... Huge barrel sponges offer temporary homes for squirrel fish and snappers and many more fish species ...
We usually start the dive looking inside the small reef holes and overhangs near the bottom , and gradually make our way to the higher portion of the reef, exploring along the way consulting our dive computer for a longer bottom time... Isabella reef is a great dive for experience divers and one of the best option wen conducting Advanced courses, as we can use this dive for deep, nitrox, multilevel or computer specialty as part of the program ...

St Martin Beach 2017 (Baie Rouge Beach)
The beautiful beaches of Saint Maarten. This is the beach called Baie Rouge on the Dutch/French side of the Island. This was 3 days before Hurricane Irma came through and destroyed 95% of the Island, including this beach front area. But, for 3 days we were able to take in the warm water, beautiful scenery and relaxation of this vacation!
