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.
Governor’s Beach is a large white sand beach located in the south of the island. Its calm and intimate side is very pleasant to relax. These turquoise waters as far as the eye can see and its magnificent setting surrounded by cliffs can only attract you to a long moment of bliss. A magnificent beach to discover during your stay on the island.
Itinerary
To reach the beach, from the airport, head towards the south of the island via the Col Tourterelle. The island is small and you will have no trouble finding the road to this beach.
When you reach the car park, you may have difficulty finding a space. Prefer to come there early so as not to have any worries. This beach is one of the busiest on the island.
La Plage du Gouverneur
Head towards the entrance to the beach. She is not supervised. On all the beaches, signs with ashtrays have been put up to protect the coves from any cigarette butts. A very good initiative!
Discover this magnificent cove of white sand surrounded by vertiginous cliffs.

The beach is quite long and you will have no trouble finding a place to fully enjoy the turquoise water and the landscape.
It’s up to you to discover it now!
| In terms of advice,
Ø Traffic on the island of Saint-Barthélemy: The island is not very big and you will not have traffic problems. However, be careful with narrow roads and uphill and downhill bends, some roads in the passes can be more delicate. Don’t rush, you’re on vacation! Ø Equipment: Slides, swimsuit, towel, beach bag (knife, k-way, cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, mosquito repellent). Ø Health: – Quality of bathing area: Excellent (Source: Ministry of Health, see map); – Accessibility: Easily by car, no disabled access but possible with an adapted wheelchair; – Mandatory sunscreen because the beach is well exposed to the sun, even think of lycras for children and adults; – Most important, always a bottle of water per person and something to snack in your bag.
