Colorful fishing boats rest on the ocean floor. Six hours later, and 38 feet higher, they lean into the wharf at the heart of St. Martins. Here, life follows the reassuring rhythm of the tides. Fishermen unload their catch at high tide and kayakers set out for the sea caves. At low tide, the harbor changes from energetic and vibrant to restful and serene. Grab a coffee at the Shipyard Cafe and watch the scene unfold while you plan your St. Martins adventure.
