Saint Martin Island by Amerage(m): 10:42am On Aug 24, 2019
Have you ever heard of "The Friendly Island"? well if not, this is the right place for you.
The friendly island is the nickname for a country in North America known as Saint Martin (the Caribbean island). Saint Martin is located in the Caribbean sea with about 34 sq miles in size and has an estimated population of 80thousand in which over 40 thousand lived in the Dutch side of the island and over 38 thousand live on the French side and they both speak a local English-based creole language.

The island has a tropical savanna climate with a dry season from January to April and a rainy season from August to December. the temperature remains steady throughout the year within the average mean temperature of 27.2-degree Celcius (81-degree falheraint).

the main industry of the island is tourism has the country record over one million visitors annually. about 85% of the workforce was engaged in the tourist industry.

St. Martin's Dutch side is known for its festive nightlife, beaches, jewellery, drinks made with native rum-based guavaberry liquors, and casinos. The island's French side is known for its nude beaches, clothes, shopping (including outdoor markets), and French and Indian Caribbean cuisine. English is the most commonly spoken language along with a local dialect. The official languages are French for Saint-Martin, and both Dutch and English for Sint Maarten. Other common languages include various French-based creoles (spoken by immigrants from other French Caribbean islands), Spanish (spoken by immigrants from the Dominican Republic and various South American countries), and Papiamento (spoken by immigrants from Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao).

Public buses are the primary mode of transportation for visitors staying on the island. Traffic on the island has become a major problem. Long traffic jams between Marigot, Philipsburg and the airport are common

Because the island is located along the intertropical convergence zone, it is occasionally threatened by Atlantic hurricane activity in the late summer and early fall.

Neighboring islands include Saint Barthélemy (French), Anguilla (British), Saba (Dutch), Sint Eustatius "Statia" (Dutch), Saint Kitts and Nevis (independent, formerly British). With the exception of Nevis, all of these islands are easily visible on a clear day from St. Martin.

saint Martin uses the Euro as its currency and almost all the store on the island accepts united state dollar, although sometimes a more expensive rate is used. for more information about saint martin island kindly visit https://timbu.com/saint-martin
