St Eustatius is a jewel in the Caribbean
far from mass tourism. You will find here a peaceful and quiet atmosphere
on an island which is about 8 km long and 3 km wide. There are about
3,200 inhabitants who welcome tourists in a friendly and relaxed
manner.
St Eustatius is off the beaten track
and is full of treasures and secrets. During the 17th and 18th centuries,
St Eustatius changed hands at least 22 times. It was a major trading
center with some 20,000 inhabitants and thousands of ships calling
at her port. Therefore St Eustatius has become a paradise for divers
and archaeologists. Its history and its volcano The Quill covered
with a tropical forest offer you beautiful hikes !
St Eustatius has become a Mecca for diving. The beautiful
36 dive sites have been protected for
10 years thanks to the Marine Park.
