DARK SKY INITIATIVE

About the Initiative

The St. Martins Dark Sky Initiative celebrates the beauty of our naturally dark night skies and works to protect them for future generations. By reducing light pollution and promoting responsible lighting practices, we aim to preserve one of our region’s most breathtaking—and often overlooked—natural wonders. Whether you're stargazing on the beach, enjoying a peaceful evening walk, or capturing the Milky Way through your lens, our dark skies are a source of wonder, tourism, and environmental health. Join us as we work together to keep St. Martins glowing—naturally.
