What to do and see in Marigot, Saint-Martin: The Best Sightseeing Tours

April 27, 2022 Etsuko Causey

The principal town and capital of French St. Martin, Marigot is an appealing spot with brightly colored houses, a scattering of restaurants and lively produce and crafts markets. It’s a great base for exploring St. Martin’s secluded beaches (many clothing optional) and its more vibrant, family-popular ones. Marigot is within easy reach of the famed restaurants at nearby Grand Case, said to have the Caribbean's best dining. Kept temperate by trade winds, Marigot stays warm and sunny year-round.

We used Kathy Royer for pretty much our whole trip for taxi service around the island. The van was new and clean and she was always prompt and showed up when we called. She offered great advice on where to go. They took our temperature everytime we got in the car as a precaution against the virus. We felt totally safe with her and will use her again when we return
