The sun sets early over Saint Martin, and by 7 p.m. it's already very dark. However, this doesn't mean the island has no nightlife -- quite the contrary, in fact! Things get started in the late afternoon, when seaside bars provide a perfect spot to sip a drink while contemplating the day's last rays of sunshine. Come nightfall, the discotheques open their doors to those looking to be swept away by the music and dance until dawn.
