A photo taken just before sunset from Great Bay showing the ruins of Fort Amsterdam on St. Maarten. We were headed-out of Great Bay on a sailboat to catch the sunset when I captured this shot.
The old fort dates back to the 1600s and an old shipwreck can also be seen at the bottom of the rocky cliff.
Our timeshare is just on the other side, so it's an easy hike up the hill to also catch some great views of Philipsburg and Great Bay.

One more mobile photo from St. Maarten taken at Rotary Lookout Point on the French side of the island. It's a beautiful place to stop, enjoy the vista and take some photos. Just offshore is Caye Chateau, an uninhabited isle that is accessible by taking a short stroll through the shallow water.
Indigo Beach was hit really hard by Hurricane Irma, losing a lot of its sand and becoming much rockier. Irma was in 2017. Since then, the sand has started returning and it is once again a lovely spot to visit in St. Maarten. They also have a great beach bar/restaurant.

“The ‘Marion’ is being given a new life as it transitions from a ship that was damaged and wrecked in Hurricane Irma to an artificial reef that will contribute to the environment and the economy for years to come. The decision to create this artificial reef is another example of the positive impact that the Trust Fund is having on the environment, economy, and livelihood of Sint Maarten and its residents. Through the NRPB, on behalf of the Government of Sint Maarten, we are not only restoring and repairing what was destroyed during the hurricane, but we are consistently looking to build and shape the resilience of our economy, society, and natural environment,” said NRPB Director Claret Connor.
For more information about the Marion, please visit www.nrpbsxm.org/shipwrecks. Persons with additional questions or inquiries can send an e-mail to info@nrpbsxm.org.
The Sint Maarten Trust Fund is financed by the Government of the Netherlands, managed by the World Bank, and implemented by the NRPB on behalf of the Government of Sint Maarten.
