About Sint Eustatius

Sint (Saint) Eustatius, also known as "Statia," may not have quite the beaches that the other islands have, but it has one thing better: no large oppressive crowds of tourists. Visiting this island is like taking a step back in time. Local wildlife roam the streets of small villages and you needn't worry about the fast pace of many of the other resort dominated islands. Sint Eustatius is a tranquil retreat into the Caribbean past and delightful cultural experience.
