Caribbean Forum Caribbean Islands St. Maarten
Fort Amsterdam on Sint Maarten (0 viewing) 
Malls, casinos, fast food chains, dance clubs, strip joints, theme restaurants, duty-free shopping, beachfront resorts: it's all here - oh, yes, and a Caribbean island, too. It's not exactly get-away-from-it-all, but Sint Maarten provides more than its fair share of activities and adventure.

Fort Amsterdam on Sint Maarten 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
In 1631 the Dutch built their first Caribbean fort, Fort Amsterdam, on the peninsula separating Great Bay and Little Bay. Spaniards captured it two years later and added a chapel. Despite its significance, today the site is neglected. But the views across the bay to Philipsburg from the crumbling walls are pleasant enough.
