Description: the hoist divided by a hoist diagonal blue over yellow;
the fly with seven stripes of green and white, proportioned 6:1:2:1:2:1:6.
In the hoist the traditional division for St. Martin has been represented
in the colors in which he is designed on the municipal arms. The
hoist and its division is analogous to the flag of Woensdrecht.
Three white stripes on green correspond to the three silver mascles on
green of the municipal arms.
Furthermore on can see:
- the three main villages before it was incorporated into France, beginning
of the 19th century
- the present villages Halsteren, De Poort and Lepelstraat

Description: In blue St. Martin on a horse with beggar, the saint cutting
off part of his coat; the whole image in yellow, all of 1/2 flaglength
and 1/2 flagheight.
The flag represents the top half of the municipal arms.
However in practice the flag was not satisfactory.
