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 the D211. The beach is located 15 minutes from the airport following the direction of the South-East of the island.
Arrived near the cove, continue along the seaside and after a few minutes you will see parking spaces on your right in front of Anse de Grand Fond.
You can consider parking nearby without getting in the way near the rock that overlooks these two coves.
There are a few places available but you will have no trouble parking. This beach is not the most popular on the island.
Parked near the rock, you can climb onto the rock to enjoy a first view of the south coast of the island.
