|
| St. Barth is known for its pristine “white-sugar” sand beaches. All are public, and each has a distinct personality. The ambience ranges from secluded and romantic to those filled with families indulging in water sports and “the beautiful people” populating the toes-in-the-sand beach bars. Although nudity is officially banned, bathers go suitless at some beaches and going topless is common. Try a different beach each day! Some of the most popular include the following: | |
|
Colombier Beach You should go there: With a picnic lunch and spend the day swimming and snorkeling. Why we love it: The sunsets are spectacular –“green flash” anyone? So romantic that many guys have popped the question here. |
| Flamands Beach You should go there: If you enjoy bodysurfing and riding the waves, it’s the place to play. Why we love it: After a swim, we can have langouste for lunch then doze on the beach. |
| Gouverneur Beach You should go there: Early or late in the day to avoid the strong sunlight. Turn right to go sans suit. Why we love it: Rumor has it Captain Monbars, “The Exterminator,” buried his stolen treasure in a hidden cave – no one has found it yet! We are still looking. |
| Grand Cul de Sac Beach You should go there: To see the blue and green hues of the sea and take a kitesurfing lesson – if you dare. Why we love it: For lunch at O’Corail – the Christophine is to die for. |
|
Lorient Beach You should go there: When the “surf ’s up” on the left end to watch the hard-core surfers try to catch that perfect wave. Why we love it: We can stop at the nearby bakery for a baguette and a few Caribs and then enjoy lunch by the palm trees. |
| Marigot Bay You should go there: To swim and then snorkel by the rocks. Why we love it: Palm trees line the small beach, and it is never crowded. |
| Saline Beach You should go: If you like to swim “au naturel.” (Don’t tell anyone we told you!) Why we love it: The rocky path leads to a sand dune; when we reach the top, we marvel at the view. |
| Shell Beach You should go: When other beaches are a bit too windy, count on Shell Beach to be tranquil enough for swimming and sunning. Why we love it: The tiny shells are so pretty. In winter, we come to watch the sunset. |
| St. Jean Beach You should go: To see the up close-and-personal view of the little planes flying in – it’s so St. Barth. Why we love it: It’s where all the action is, especially on Sundays at La Plage. |
