Oranjestad, Sint Eustatius Cruises

Oranjestad, Sint Eustatius Cruise Port

• Fort Oranje is the main historical attraction in town. Built by the British in 1703, it replaced the wooden fort erected in 1629. You can tour the cannons and triple bastions while enjoying the amazing view of the bay from its cobblestone walks.
   
• Since a large part of the island is nature, there's no better way to explore it than at Quill/Boven National Park. The first official national park of the Netherlands Antilles and a protected nature preserve, there's a large diversity of plant and animal life here. You’ll also find the dormant volcano called The Quill and its limestone formation called The Wall. The network of trails around the park let you choose the difficulty level of your hike.
   
• The Sint Eustatius Museum is located in the center of Oranjestad and includes prehistoric archaeology and artefacts from the days when the island was dubbed "The Golden Rock." You'll also find other pieces showcasing the island’s Jewish community, along with nautical and colonial relics.
   
• Despite being a Caribbean island, it doesn't have the endless beaches that others do. If you're looking for sun and sand, Oranjestad Beach is a pleasant place for a swim and to find nesting sea turtles.
