Ilet Pinel
On the north coast of St Martin are the tiny hamlets of Anse
Marcel and Cul-de-Sac, from which operate boats ferrying passengers
on a two-minute hop to the uninhabited offshore islet of Ilet
Pinel. Anse Marcel features some large hotels, a marina and a sandy
beach, while Cul-de-Sac boasts St Martin's mayoral residence. Ilet
Pinel is pristine and offers calm waters for bathing, and excellent
snorkelling opportunities.
Information & Facts
Language
Dutch and French are the official languages, but English
is widely spoken. Locals commonly use a language known as
Papiamento, a mixture of Portuguese, African, Spanish, Dutch and
English.
Money
On the Dutch side the currency is the Netherlands Antilles
Guilder or Florin (ANG), where one guilder is divided into 100
cents, but US Dollars are also widely accepted and prices are
usually quoted in Dollars as well as Guilders. On the French side
of the island the Euro (EUR) is the local currency, although
establishments will also accept US Dollars. There are numerous
bureaux de change and banks throughout the island and ATMs in the
main towns in both national sectors; travellers cheques and major
credit cards are widely accepted.
