Once settled by cattle and goat farmer and cheese producer on beginning of 20th century. Today Tintamarre is an uninhabited island located in a Marine Park off the Northeast coast of French Saint Martin. It’s a favorite spot for many local snorkel tour operators who go there for snorkeling with the turtles, which graze the seagrass bed in front of the pristine sandy beach. Wild goats are still roaming the east part of the island and can be found in wooden areas or around old farm house and barns.  There is abandon air strip dating Second World War with engines scattered around from stranded airplanes.
