St Martin/St Maarten / Sport

By Nigel Tisdall

St Martin/St Maarten is an active place where people like to do a lot more than flop on the beach. The sands are kept busy with games of beach tennis and volleyball while out at sea jet-skis roar, windsurfers glide and parasailers catch the breeze. Joining in is easy as all the resorts have lots of options with all the necessary equipment provided. Basketball is the sport most closely followed by locals.
