The 10 Best Free Things to do in Marigot, Saint-Martin

March 13, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

The principal town and capital of French St. Martin, Marigot is an appealing spot with brightly colored houses, a scattering of restaurants and lively produce and crafts markets. It’s a great base for exploring St. Martin’s secluded beaches (many clothing optional) and its more vibrant, family-popular ones. Marigot is within easy reach of the famed restaurants at nearby Grand Case, said to have the Caribbean's best dining. Kept temperate by trade winds, Marigot stays warm and sunny year-round.

I’ve been coming to St Martin for years (before and after hurricane Irma) and everything about this island is magic. From the beaches to its people, a more beautiful island can’t be found! The Wall of Art was built partially to show the people’s strength and endurance after the tragedy of Irma but also to give locals and visitors a sense of hope and to feel as though you are truly part of this magical place. The Homage Hotel (formally Mercure) and its staff helped to organize this amazing art installation and it’s such a lovely part of the experience as you travel from one end of the island to the other. It’s an incredible piece of art but more importantly it symbolizes the island mentally of community and support! A must see!!!!

Roland Richardson Art Gallery

Reviewed By Alamito1

A wonderful place to visit! The gallery is not operating with normal hours during this Pandemic, but you can email them and they will set an appointment to meet with you. Laura and Roland graciously opened up the gallery for us to view the artwork, and the beautiful, historic house. His plein air paintings showcase the island and its people, and you can feel the light coming from the canvases. The artist took the time to talk to us about his work, and various pieces, and we purchased a painting that will always remind us of our time here, and of Sir Roland. The property is amazing, with a lovely garden. If you come to St. Martin, don't miss this. Just send them a message through their website.

Those who hike to the top of the island's highest mountain are rewarded with wonderful views.

Reviewed By KristinaT42719 - Saint Louis, United States

It's the highest leak on the island. You can stop at Loterie Farms and hike up. The hike is sort.of challenging....bring water and take your time! Jump in the pool when you get back. There's also a road all the way to a top with a short ten min hike to the peak! AMAZING VIEWS! you must do this!

Reviewed By Sunshine34500 - West Orange, United States

This port shows you half of the French side. Surrounded by restaurants, jewelry shops, the fish market days and outdoor markets. Hard to navigate with a car. Best to take a taxi. Buy a fresh squeezed coconut drink and sit on the dock to chill. Sunset is magnificent. Lots of people watching.

Yves Rocher

50 Years ago, the Yves Rocher brand was born of the vision of a man who believed in botanical-based cosmetics and the democratization of beauty for all women. These two views are the pillars of Botanical Beauty. Yves Rocher Researchers have a thorough knowledge of botanicals, essential to understanding them, but also protecting them. That is why in 1977 a Botanical Garden was created in La Gacilly. And beyond La Gacilly, Yves Rocher botanists and ethnobotanists travel the five continents to explore the botanical world and discover the most efficient plants for you. Botanicals are alive. They are packed with vital energy and thanks to their incredible properties, Yves Rocher is constantly creating ever more effective active ingredients that work intensely on skin.
