About
Explore this spot in Saint Martin. Great location for kayaking, canoeing, supping and wind surfing. Saint Martin is a small island in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. The island is divided between two countries, France to the north and the Netherlands to the south. The scenery around Saint Martin is quite stunning, with turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and lush green tropical forests. The island is mountainous with rolling hills, and the highest peak is Pic Paradis, which offers a panoramic view of the island. There are also several coral reefs and cays that surround the island, providing great opportunities for snorkeling and diving. Additionally, there are many charming fishing villages, historic sites, and cultural attractions to explore on the island.

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
