The island has close to 5,500 islanders that stay on St Martin’s Island and make a living from fishing and tourism. The island has become quite popular and there are a few luxury ocean liners that include St Martin’s Island in their routes. The white beaches are popular amongst travelers, and they are beautifully lined with tall coconut trees and crystal clear waters that creep onto the sand.
