Once a disputed island between the Netherlands and France and home to some farms, Tintamarre now is the largest uninhabited island within reach from St Maarten. A beautiful sandy beach can be found on its western tip, whereas its eastern rock formations are just as spectacular. The island temporarily had the function of airport, and remains of both the aforementioned farms and airplanes can be found in its middle.
Boats to Tintamarre can be chartered from Orient Bay and French Cul de Sac.
