Welcome to the island of Saint-Barthélemy, located in the north of the Lesser Antilles and a territory of incredible wealth in environmental and economic terms. High-end island with its prestigious restaurant, shopping and other services…. It is also an incredible cradle of biodiversity for fauna and flora.
You will also be amazed by its many beaches, its landscapes of hills (mornes) whose highest point is Morne de Vitet (286 m). Hiking and nautical activities await you to make the most of your stay.
You can escape to a beach or choose to enjoy the luxury shops and restaurants, a good compromise that only the island of Saint-Barthélemy has the secret.
Let’s go and discover these white sand beaches.
Itinerary
To reach the beach, from the airport, head west of the island by taking the D209 then D210. The beach is located less than 10 minutes from the airport following the direction of Anse des Flamands at the intersection between these two departmental roads.
Arrived near the cove, continue along the seaside and after a few minutes you will come to a dead end with a roundabout.
You can consider parking nearby without getting in the way or continuing somewhat to the houses further away (starting point of the hike to Anse Colombier from Anse des Flamands).
There are very few places available, plan to obstruct traffic as little as possible even if it means turning around. However, it is a small cove hence its name and there are plenty of other beaches nearby.

Access to the beach is easily via a path and then a staircase.
L’Anse is not shaded and you will need a parasol. Beware of the harmful effects of the sun.
