Island
Information
As
the two names suggest this is the most unique Island in the
Caribbean. Dutch and French share this two country situation
without borders. Other than signs that say “Welcome to the Dutch
Side” and “Welcome to the French Side” you would think it was
one country. Roughly 37 square miles offers breathtaking views
from beautiful mountain Vistas of the Caribbean and Atlantic
Oceans.
