There are an amazing amount of shells here, but they are mostly the same kind (not a bad thing, but if you are looking for variety...) There is a great little restaurant and beach bar here. The water is clear and the beach is soft dark sand besides the shells of course. Great place right down from the Gustavia port.... More

St Barths has its share of great beaches, but I would definitely put this one up there on the list. As everyone has noted (and of course the name) shells are everywhere and it's a great place for collecting them. Believe it or not, it also has some good snorkeling over on the left side of the inlet. Couple this... More

Unbelievable amount of shells! Most of them are very similar but such a delight to search for the different ones. Calm water for swimming and great restaurant Do Brazil for drinks and snacks. Wonderful day at the beach!

My wife and our two daughters (15 &6) stayed a week at the villa Grand Galet overlooking this gorgeous strand. We all agree that of the 9 beaches that we visited Shell Beach or Anse Grand Galet as it is known locally has the best sunsets. The beach has litlle sand and more shells hence the name. There are areas... More

just about maybe 15-20 minutes from the ferry landing, a nice small beach. lots of shells, very clean and a nice crowd. no bathrooms or any amenities, but a nice place to relax and take some sun.no parking.

Stunning beach, great views, beware of the undertow from the water though. Bring your own towels and food as Do Brazil on the beach is very very expensive as is the price of hitting a sunbed. No parking at all really, so just walk from the town centre in 10 mins or so. A must see in St Barts.

A cute little beach with a decent beach bar. Completely different than any other St. Barths beach in that it is loaded with shells. Nice in that there are a series of boulders so you can put your towel down and have a bit of privacy if you want to sunbathe a la francaises. Limited parking is a downside. Park... More

Really nice beach that you can walk to from ferry terminal. Bring a blanket to sit on because it cost $58.00 to rent two chairs and one umbrella. Also pack a lunch unless you want to pay $35.00 for a hamburger. LOL

Really near town. A bar owned by a Russian guy. Beer is not cheap. Music ok. close . Rent a car go further. This is a good stop for a beer and the sunset.
