St. Eustatius, or Statia as it is called by the locals, has a coastline littered with hundreds of shipwrecks, and divers are still finding artifacts. Tiny Statia functioned as a Dutch trading post and was one of the richest ports in the Americas. The least known of the Dutch Windward trio, Statia is a gem. The main town of Oranjestad has a couple of oceanfront pubs and not much else -- but that's part of its charm. Hikers have the unique opportunity of exploring the crater of an extinct volcano named the Quill.
