| ACTIVE SPORTS: Eco-vacation opportunities abound on our island. Swimming and watersports (water-skiing, parasailing, jet-skiing, snorkeling, wind-surfing, and more) surround the island and there are hiking and biking trails through the rugged mountains in the center of the island. The best sailboarding is on the eastern coast where the tradewinds provide a constant breeze. Go to Tropical Wave/Chez Pat on Galion Beach for constant winds and the calmest water in the enclosed bay. |

GOLF: Mullet Bay still has the golf course functioning even though the hotel has been closed since Hurricane Luis in 1995. Things have gotten better lately. There are more functioning carts and the course looks better because of several years without hurricanes and new equipment. The very active local golf association has been instrumental in maintaining the course. They also are the driving force behind the St Maarten Open, a tournament that raises thousands of dollars for local charities. SXM-Info has donated to their cause. That's our sign in the grass in the photo to the right. Golf de Grand Case has an uphill driving range and visions of carving a golf course out of the rugged terrain to the east of the airport in Grand Case. Currently, they are having trouble keeping their website in operation. |
