St. Barts & St. Martin : French West Indies | 4K Travel Video
For this trip we spent 6 days on the beautiful island of St. Barthélemy then 3 more on St. Martin. While on St. Barthélemy we had the pleasure of staying at @lebarthelemyhotelspa5889 for a true mix of luxury and relaxation. We enjoyed visiting downtown Gustavia, sailing to Colombier beach, watching planes land at Gustaf III Airport, hiking & admiring turtles at Grand Cul-de-Sac, and of course partying at Nikki Beach.
On St. Martin it's an absolute bucket-list to catch jumbo airlines landing at SXM over Maho Beach. Exploring both the French & Dutch sides is always exciting to see the different cultures on the same island. We visited downtown Philipsburg, Marigot, Fort St. Louis, & Loterie Farm to hike up to Pic Paradis.

Petites Cayes Beach, a beautiful, unspoiled, secluded beach located on the French Side of St. Martin island. starting from French Culdesac, the beach is accessible via a narrow steep and rocky trail. The hike is a bit challenging but worth the effort if you like privacy and don't mind bringing only a towel and water. Petites Cayes Beach or Little Cayes Beach is a favorite among Nature Lovers and surfers as well. This area forms part of St. Martin nature reserve marine protected area.

The Best Beach of Saint Martin.
We Visited Pinel Island - St.Maarten's Best - Kept Secret
Hello guys, greetings from Pinel Island!
Pinel Island is only ten minutes from St. Maarten and is known as the place where locals go. Pinel Island is a preserved area and is a very popular snorkeling, kayak, and hiking spot. Later on, we will explore the island and visit the only three facilities on the island: two restaurants and a gift shop. Also, you can walk around the island to see amazing wildlife, nature, and a couple of other beaches, but because of coral reefs and rough waters, swimming is almost impossible.
Guys, thank you for watching, and see you next week with our new adventure!

The Best Beach Bars on Orient Bay, St Martin
It’s the most popular beach on St Martin, and one of the most energetic in the whole Caribbean: trendy, hip, always-hopping Orient Bay. Visit for more.
HOW TO SPEND A DAY AT PINEL ISLAND, ST. MARTIN
Pinel Island is a must-see and experience when visiting the island St. Martin | St. Maarten!
How to get there...
1. Drive out to Cul de Sac on the French Side just north of Orient Beach.
2. Park in the free parking lot.
3. Board the Ferry which runs every 30 minutes starting at 9:30am (check the website for details and exact times)
4. Pay $12 for a round trip ferry ride
5. Rent a chair from either Karibuni or Yellow Beach (about $20 for two chairs)
6. Enjoy your day!
7. Grab lunch at Karibuni or Yellow Beach (Karibuni is featured in this video)
8. Remember what the captain said on the ferry for when the last ferry back is!
9. Post pictures on social media and make your friends jealous.
Pinel is an absolute blast and one of my favorite day trips in SXM. The beach has impeccable calm water, the sand is super white and the experience is like none other. I love going here so I can view St. Martin from the island. It's such a different experience to be able to sit on a beach and look at the island rather than out into the blank ocean. Drinks are amazing, food is incredible and the service is absolutely amazing.
Have you experienced Pinel? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.

St. Barth Day Trip from St. Maarten - [a Travel Vlog]
One of the great things about a visit to st. Maarten is that it's so easy to visit one of the neighboring islands, like St. Barth.
St. Barth, short for St. Barthelemy, is only 8 square miles and easy to explore by car or scooter. Hike to one of the two natural pools, shop luxury brands, discover the beaches, enjoy French and Creole cuisine, or look out for land turtles, which there are plenty of roaming the island.
