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 towards the east of the island by taking the D209. The beach is located 15 minutes from the airport following the coast. You will have to turn left at the mailboxes and walk along a salt marsh to reach the beach.
The car park is small and fills up quickly, you can plan to park on the side of the road towards the marsh without interfering too much with car traffic.
