Sint Maarten and Sustainability in Travel
Why we featured this post
Planning a family trip to Sint Maarten and want the beach to stay, beachy? This post goes behind the postcard and explains the island realities of trash, power, and water, with interviews from Nature Foundation Sint Maarten and EPIC’s Perpetual Plastics. You’ll get specific, kid-friendly ways to help, like spotting sea turtle tracks and alerting your hotel, plus easy swaps like using reusable bottles (tap water is safe). It also makes a practical case for off-peak travel, less traffic, fewer crowds, lighter impact.
Things to do
- Look for sea turtle tracks on resort-front beaches
- Bring and use reusable water bottles (tap water is safe)
- Drop qualifying plastics at Perpetual Plastics before the airport
Based on The Royal Tour's post. Read it for the full details.
