Why this matters in The Miami
Miami's strong Caribbean connections make St. Maarten a familiar destination for many locals, who often have family ties or cultural roots in the region. For Miamians, experiencing St. Maarten like a local can be a way to reconnect with their own heritage, whether through the island's Creole cuisine, its vibrant festivals, or its unique blend of French and Dutch colonial architecture. The city's Little Havana and Wynwood neighborhoods, with their own rich cultural traditions, can also provide a fascinating counterpoint to St. Maarten's distinct island culture.
