We loved St Jean beach because it's great sand either side of Eden Rock, not too crowded, and there are several places to eat and drink, as well as hire loungers from la plage and even book a massage on the beach. Sea slopes away gradually, nice to watch the planes leaving and arriving. Flammands was also lovely, but too... More

A wonderful beach in St. Barths. I guess this is one of the main beaches and is a "tourist attraction".

It was fun watching the show over at Nikki Beach. This beach is ok, but Saline and Goveneur were much more quiet and relaxing.

My headline says it all. Yet, there are nice restaurants for lunch and cute shops nearby. The beach is boring. I'd try somewhere else.

we had our first day in St Barts at St Jean Beach. very relaxing at the end of the beach away from Eden Rock. But wonder down to Nikki Beach and have lunch. Take a walk up to the top of Eden Rock and the view is spectacular. You can see the planes taking off.

The beach that made the Island famous. Big and white with not much surf and a great view. Eden rock anchors one end and the runway the other. If one goes to one beach for a taste of St Bart's this is a must.

Very nice. Soooo beautiful. Blue water and soft white sand. Easily accessible close to airport, restaurants and shops. Perfect for friends, couples or families. Wish I was still there..

Loved being on the beach at St. Jean. Centrally located and you get to watch the planes landing. Lots of fun!

This beach is by far one of the most amazing places I have ever been to!! However it is a bit crowded! Was unique and it is on my list of those places that have to be revisited!! Oh, and the airport is so close it is amazing!
