    Sentry Hill

    January 29, 2023 in Sint Maarten ⋅ 🌬 79 °F

    Sentry Hill - the highest point on the Dutch side at 341m (1100 ft)
    It is overlooking Cay bay beach - a silent, quiet beach at the back of St Maarten’s energy plant, and provides access to Seaside Nature Park. An ideal location for kids to be around animals, or take a horse bak ride. It has a magnificent view of Great Bay and Phillipsburg. The town consists of only a few streets – mainly reserved for duty-free shops – and a population of less than 1,400 St. Maarteners. At the top of this mount are the remains of Fort Tig built by the British in 1801. When it became part of the Dutch territory in 1816, they renamed it Fort William in honor of Holland’s first king.
    The monument is to Harold Jack the man who used to own the land
