Blink and you might miss this island that’s just over eight square miles. Sint Eustatius (commonly referred to as Statia) is tiny, but this Dutch Caribbean hidden gem is packed with adventure. ⁠ ⁠ Here you’ll find black sand beaches, nearly 17 miles of protected marine reserve that hugs the coastline, sleepy volcanoes crisscrossed with hiking paths, and more. See ancient underwater shipwrecks on a snorkeling or scuba diving adventure; hike to the crater rim and see the Quill: a 2,000-foot dormant volcano; or eat like a local at the harborfront Boardwalk Cafe or at Bobbie’s Beach Club.
