Sint Eustatius: Overview

Slow your watch right down and get into a long-gone laid-back vibe.

Sint Eustatius (affectionately known as 'Statia') may lack glorious beaches, but it also lacks the madding crowd. Visiting this tranquil little outpost is like stepping back into the Caribbean of the past - islanders strike up conversations, stray chickens and goats mosey in the streets and the pace is delightfully unhurried.
