                                                                               Welcome To St. Eustatius

Picture
           St. Eustatius (also known as Statia) is a Dutch island in the Caribbean and has 11.8 square miles
           of mostly rugged coastline and is mostly an undeveloped volcanic island.

           Divers from around the world love to come here for the scuba diving as there are many sunken ships
           that are located around the island, there is one sunken ship that is over 300 feet long. In addition there
           are many reefs and sea life around the island. On occasion many divers find artifacts on the sea floor
           at times an unbroken bottle.

           At one time (in the 1700's) there were 20.000 residents but during the American Revolution the island
           sided with the United States and was punished by England. The island was a major trading port during
           the late part of the 17th century and all of the 18th century. Today there are only about 3000 residents.

                                                                                                    St. Eustatius is rich in history and there is a museum on the island where visitors can learn all about the
                                                                                                    island and its history and the name of the museum is St. Eustatius Historical Foundation Museum.

                                                                                                    One of the highlights of St. Eustatius is Statia Carnival which was first started in 1964 visitors and locals
                                                                                                    look forward to this fun time on the island and is usually held in the last week of July.

                                                                                                    There are 24 restaurants on the island with a good selection of different foods for all to try. The national
                                                                                                     dish is goat meat, peas and rice.

                                                                                                     For more information on St. Eustatius go to: statiatourism.com

                                                                                                    Enjoy St, Eustatius,
