The walk is a nice prelude to this surprisinly beautiful beach. The sand is like flour. There were a few yachts, boats, but not that many people. Clean waters...

We understand access to this beach is not easy. Took a 1/2 day trip with St. Barth Sailor and came by water. Great sail trip easier access and found some starfish underwater.

When our friends told us we were hiking to a beach and there was no other way to get there, I was a little skeptical... Turned out to be one of the best beaches on the island! The hike was about 20 minutes and easy (don't wear flip flops, but you definitely don't need hiking boots!). The hike is picturesque... More

The walk to Colombier was very nice from Petit Anse. I heard the best way to get there is to go as if you are going to Flamands Beach, and then at the very end of the road, turn left so that you are right along the beach side, and go to Petit Anse, then park your car and walk... More

I almost don't want to review this, as I don't want more people going there. So if you do go, clean up after yourself! Gorgeous beach, beautiful marine life and snorkeling, calm waters, beautiful western exposure to sunset, paradise....

We took a ferry to St Barths from SXM just to check out. trekking around a bit we took a ride over to Colombier beach. This an absolutely beautiful and serene beach. Way to easy to sit back and fall asleep while looking at the ocean. Too bad it was to far to get here again! Everyone one the beach... More

My husband and I have been to Colombier Beach a few times. It's our favorite beach. We love that it's mostly deserted except for the many boats anchored offshore. The water is relatively calm and such a beautiful turquoise color. If you get there early, you may be able to snag one of the few spots that gets a bit... More

This is the best beach. We missed it first trip. Now we will have an excuse to return. A must do beach.

This is a nice little cove. You can snorkel to the rocks by the old Rockefeller compound on the cape. One night our captain took us out after midnight to the beach. It is very quiet here. We saw lots of starfish.
