St Eustatius or Statia as it is better known, is a very calm and a tranquil island in the Caribbean. Rather than the beaches, the forts of Statia take centre stage as the main tourist attractions. Fort Oranje, replete with cannons, triple bastions and a cobblestone courtyard and the Fort de Windt situated on top of a cliff with splendid views of St.Kitts are the prime tourists spots.
The town of Zeelandia has a great beach and a great hiking trail. A vacation to Statia is incomplete without trips to Oranjestad and the St. Eustatius Museum.
Getting There

Weather & Climate
