Humpback whales Saint-Martin

Humpback whales

The waters around St. Martin are not just a migration corridor for humpback whales—they are an important breeding, calving, and socializing area within the Caribbean. The shallow Anguilla Bank, which includes the waters around St. Martin, Anguilla, and St. Barthélemy, provides warm, protected conditions that are ideal for these activities.

The Anguilla bank, #2 hot spot for whales

Anguilla bank

The Anguilla Bank is a broad, shallow underwater plateau in the northeastern Caribbean. Although most people only see the islands of St. Martin, Anguilla, and St. Barthélemy, these islands are actually the highest points of a single submerged geological platform. It is a migration destination for many whales coming from northern atlantic. Humback whales can be observed for those willing to go in open sea, a magic moment to experience.
