A day trip to Anguilla is the easiest excursion you can take from Saint Martin, and if you go self-organized, it’s also the cheapest one.
As I rummage through my bag for my lip balm, a few bills and coins fall into my hands. It’s 23 dollars. However, they’re Eastern Caribbean dollars, a currency valid on eight islands. Converted, my 23 EC$ are about 8.50 US$. Still, something. I’m currently on Saint Martin, where you can pay with various currencies, but the EC$ isn’t one of them.
So what to do?
