Located in the northeastern Caribbean, French St. Martin is a French overseas collectivity occupying the northern part of the island of St. Martin (with Dutch St. Martin to the south). It is a blend of French elegance and Caribbean hospitality, with world-class white-sand shores such as Mahaou Beach and Goule Bay, and crystal-clear waters that are ideal for snorkeling and sailing. As a French territory, the Euro is the common currency and French is the official language, but English is widely spoken, making it convenient for international travelers. The island's duty-free shopping village attracts tourists from all over the world, and French cuisine collides with Caribbean favorites. The year-round warm climate makes it a popular choice for island vacations and honeymoons, and perfectly illustrates the charm of the "small island with a big flavor".
