Babit Point
About
Found on Saint Martin, Babit Point is a viewpoint set in Quartier D'Orléans 97150, on the French side of the island.
Reaching it from the main resorts is manageable, since Marigot, Philipsburg and Grand Case all lie within the same stretch of the island, and Orient Bay sits close by. The outlook draws a steady stream of visitors who have given it 4.4 out of 5 across 16 reviews. It looks out over the island's eastern shoreline.
Minibuses and shared taxis are common public transport across Caribbean islands, often leaving only when full, so build some slack into any journey here. English, French, Spanish and Dutch all hold official status on different Caribbean islands, which is worth knowing when asking for directions. Carnival parades are held across the Caribbean, some before Lent and others in the summer months.
Maho, Cupecoy, Mullet Bay and Sandy Ground sit further along the coast, giving a sense of how compact the island is. Sugar plantations worked by enslaved Africans shaped Caribbean societies from the seventeenth century onward, and that history still marks the landscape around Quartier D'Orléans.
