Saint Martin

Saint Martin is a small island located in the Lesser Antilles, known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture. This Caribbean paradise is a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike, offering a plethora of breathtaking locations to capture on camera. From the picturesque Maho Beach, where planes fly just a few feet above sunbathers, to the colorful streets of Marigot, the island is a photographer's dream. The island's natural beauty is also a draw, with lush rainforests, hidden waterfalls, and stunning vistas from the island's highest point, Pic Paradis.
