Things to see at Tintamarre Island
St Martin Natural Reserve
Nowadays, the deserted beach brings you the feeling to be in Robinson Crusoe’s shoes. White Bay is the easiest beach to reach. Depending the season, Tintamarre is the house of sea turtle nest. Reach the beach either by swim, the dinghy or by the stand up paddle included in your luxury charter. You can also swim in the crystal clear water, explore the seabed, or hike in the surroundigs to discover the ruins and the red cliffs.
Tintamarre Island, a paradise on earth
Charter to Tintamarre Island is always a bliss. Located on the north east of Saint Martin, this completely uninhabited and tiny land promises to make you a large impression. Sometimes called « the flat island » by the locals, Tintamarre’s biggest attraction is its rich marine wildlife, especially in the early morning. Our team will provide you all the equipment to enjoy the best snorkeling experience possible.
Historical past
History of Tintamarre is unique and unusual : about a century ago, around 150 people used to live on the island. A Dutchman named Sir Johannes Van Romondt was one of them and he contributed to the development of Tintamarre, by the cotton cultivation, sheep, and production of butter and cheese. Then he sold the island to a previous mayor of St. Martin, Louis Constant Fleming, who annexed the islet. During that time, an air company was based on the island, with a traffic based on local destinations. But the airport closed in 1952 after several accidents. The island’s history of piracy, colonialism, and rum distilleries provide visitors with a unique insight into the true essence of Caribbean culture. With its serene atmosphere and wealth of cultural attractions, Tintamarre Island is an ideal escape for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean Sea in all its glory.
