Welcome to the island of Saint-Barthélemy, located north of the small Antilles and territory of incredible wealth in environmental and economic terms. High-end island by its prestigious services of restorations, shoppings and others …. It is also an incredible cradle of biodiversity for the fauna and flora.
You will also be amazed by the many beaches, the landscapes of hills (dreary) the culminating point is Morne de Vitet (286 m). Hiking and water activities are there ready for you to enjoy your stay.
You can escape to a beach or choose to enjoy shopping and luxury restaurants, a good compromise that only the island of St. Barthelemy has the secret.
Let’s go to the discovery of these white sand beaches.
The Baie de Saint-Jean beach is a large white sand beach located on the north side of the island and split in two by Eden Rock. The sea is not rough and you can enjoy the turquoise waters with family or friends. Rest chairs and restaurants / beach bar will allow you to eat or have drink feet in the water. The atypical context of this beach will also make you enjoy the take-offs and landings of planes arriving from nearby islands. A prohibition zone exists however. Stay calm there are not some many takeoffs or landings.
Itinerary
To get to the beach, from the airport, head east of the island (D209). The beach is located less than 2 minutes from the airport along the coast by this road.
The beach is separated in two by the Eden Rock. Bathing is not supervised in the Bay of Saint Jean.
You will have a first entrance next to the airport with a fairly spacious parking. A danger zone has been delineated using wooden stakes along the beach.
Baie de Saint-Jean
The second part of the beach is after Eden Rock. Parking spaces are harder to find. You will need to be patient and use your sense of convenience to find a suitable roadside parking space.
Depending on your choice of beach, both beaches are beautiful.
