The sun slants low over a turquoise inlet as you ease an ATV off the lot—salt air pushes at your shoulders and the island opens in a mosaic of beaches, scrubby hills and sun-bleached roads. On Sint Maarten, an ATV is a way to feel the island’s pace: quick turns past roadside eateries, a surprise ridge with a harbor view, and the whoosh of wind on a flat run to Mullet Bay.
