While I personally don't need one many of the women that travel do take a light sweater or wind-breaker type jacket. If you are near the water or a rain comes up the wind can make it feel cool in the evenings. Better to be safe than sorry.

JAR,
While I usually don't absolutely NEED one, I always pack one and generally do bring it along in the evenings. As already suggested, sometimes, after a long day in the sun, the evening breezes can be a bit chilly and I find some places will crank the ac to a point the sweater is well appreciated. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,

I bring a light windbreaker jacket, but don't usually end up using it for much more than getting to the car at the airport on the way home. Murphy would suggest that if you don't pack a sweater, you'll end up wishing you had.

Cold in the evening? Heck it's cold during the DAY here today! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />
I always take SOMETHING that has long sleeves to SXM, not necessarily a sweater per se, but often I just wear it on the plane. I am always cold on planes. A couple of years ago at Regatta, there was a COLD rain in the evening and I was glad to have a jacket then.

I have never worn a sweater when visiting St. Martin/St. Maarten, but we usually visit in November and April and temperatures are warmer then. We have gone also in February and March and found the winds cooler then, but not cold enough for a sweater. If you find it cold, rum helps! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the suggestion and I'll try to remember this for the next visit. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
