About Tintamarre Island
A wonderful haven of peace and greenery covering 100 hectares in the middle of the ocean, the island of Tintamarre is located 4km off the northeast coast of Saint Martin. Taking a walk around this now uninhabited island, you will find the remains of an airstrip, a small railtrack and a cotton plantation. The most accessible bay, "Baie Blanche", is situated on the west coast facing Saint Martin and has a delightful beach for swimming. A second beach is located on the East part of the island just a few minutes away from the main one where everybody arrives. Wild and rocky is it not the best spot to swim but it remains the perfect nursery for numerous fish species. Tintamarre lies within the boundary of the Saint Martin Nature Reserve. There is nowhere to buy food or water on the island, so come well prepared.
