The Wall of Art is an outdoor museum that was created by French Artists after Hurricane Irma to show the resilience of the people of Saint-Martin to rebuild their beautiful island. It is a colorful wall full of love, passion and inspiration of over 15 artists. It is a km long....
I’ve been coming to St Martin for years (before and after hurricane Irma) and everything about this island is magic. From the beaches to its people, a more beautiful island can’t be found! The Wall of Art was built partially to show the people’s strength and endurance after the tragedy of Irma but also to give locals and visitors a sense of hope and to feel as though you are truly part of this magical place. The Homage Hotel (formally Mercure) and its staff helped to organize this amazing art installation and it’s such a lovely part of the experience as you travel from one end of the island to the other. It’s an incredible piece of art but more importantly it symbolizes the island mentally of community and support! A must see!!!!

Shopping, Dinning, Cultural, Romantic Walk
Was really nice walk up and down the beach areas. Had some good shops and local cuisine. We highly recommend visiting the area when in St Martin.

The unofficial town center, featuring an 18th-century courthouse and a tourist information booth.
From here, you can take a moment for orientation. You will see the beach, the water taxis bringing back people to the Cruise boats, and you are just in the middle of shopping,

This crowded street is a popular tourist center for duty-free shopping.
Front Street is the main shopping area in Philipsburg, parallels the beach and boardwalk. There are many shops with a focus on alluring the passengers from the cruise ships that come in the nearby port into their shops. They have hawkers at the doors trying to entice you in, which I am sure is the way they do business, but I find very annoying. We stayed on the Island and when the shop keepers learned of this, appeared to treat us better and in some cases gave better prices. Overall, a once stop if staying on the Island, but an area focused on the ships passengers, of which some days there are 6 ships in port and what I would term a tourist trap.

Old Street is a wonderful place to wander. We were so happy to see that is has been son nicely restored since the damage from the hurricane. The builidngs are all freshly pained in lively colours and all the damage has been repaired. We were so happy to see that the old yellow car was all repaired and looks good as new! It was so smashed in the hurricane the lasst time we saw it. Well worth walking down this street and visiting the shops and/or dining venues.

An amazing bird is the pelican. It’s bill can hold more than its belly can. A great welcoming sculpture group as you leave the airport
