The island is a popular vacation destination with beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, and a vibrant culture. It has a population of approximately 77,000 and is known for its diverse and multicultural community. The island has a long and complex history, with the first inhabitants believed to have been Amerindians who arrived over 2000 years ago. The island was discovered by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1493 and was subsequently colonized by the Spanish, Dutch, French and British. Today, Saint Martin is a unique blend of African, European and Caribbean cultures, resulting in a distinct local cuisine, music, and traditions. The island's economy is largely driven by tourism, with visitors attracted by its natural beauty, lively nightlife, and tax-free shopping.
