    We stopped by St.Jean beach in the afternoon and definitely needed chairs and umbrella which we rented from Eden Rock hotel. Although it was expensive, the service was excellent. They brought out fresh towels and cold water immediately for us. They constantly checked if we needed anything. Would definitely do this again. The water color is something to behold and beach is clean and neat.

    There are multiple approaches to reach this beach and the one from Flamands Beach offers a lot of drama, some you may enjoy, some you may not. I can’t speak to the other approaches. There is cliff exposure at points from the Flamands Beach approach and if you are wearing wobbly sandals or you are acrophobic, the walk can be a treacherous/intimidating (parking is limited as well). That said, there is great scenery and once you reach Colombier, you realize the walk was totally worth it. This is one of those ultra-special beaches in the Caribbean! It is very secluded, the water could not be more deeply azure and clear, and there is an amazing abundance of sea life. BY all means, take snorkel gear, even if it means lugging it through the hot, dry scrubland to reach this amazing place. It IS the nicest beach on St. Barth, and you will regret leaving when the time comes.

    Beautiful beach, small parking space, no shade, no facilities, no restaurants nearby, road is small and narrow, cellphone signal is a challenge, no Uber in St barts to come to pick you up. Best to rent a car especially if you're staying for a day

    An easy walk through town from the harbor/ship tenders. Not to far to carry a beach bag with towels and drinks/snacks. There is a restaurant adjacent, with some rentable lounges, but we did not bother. Only a few shady spots, you might need to get there early. Can see how it might get crowded since it is small. A few boats did anchor just offshore; they provide a lane for dinghy access to the beach. Easy enough to get into the water; just a little steep. Water of course beautiful, clear, blue, bottom easy on your feet.

    Beautiful, wide and soft sandy beach that the Cheval Blanc resort fronts. Lots of other homes and construction along the beach as well. Nice for a walk and dipping into the water. There significant waves that pick up on windy days. The beach is long enough that you can find ample space for yourself though this is not a "quiet" beach. We stayed at Cheval Blanc and we were more inclined to visit the other beaches on the island.

    Great views of Shell Beach, the town of Gustavia, the harbor, and maybe your cruise ship if it's anchored. A short set up steep steps up. No fort, just some stones on the old location. A few informational signs.

    A dark sand beach that can be crowded. Go to the left and walk a while to get to a less crowded area.

    We did a double take as we drove by this wild and undeveloped stretch of coast on the southeast side of the island. I wouldn’t want to swim here, but what a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the ocean views in solitude. I later read that this is one of St Barths best surfing beaches. Who knew? It was deserted when we visited.

    This beach is pretty and the view out to Grand Cul de Sac is lovely. It's not a large beach and there are hotels and at least two restaurants on it. The whole bay is very shallow. You can walk out several hundred feet and still be waist deep. The cool thing about this beach is that there are lots of large turtles living off of it. At the restaurant O'Corail you can rent transparent kayaks and row out to see them. In our experience there were more and larger turtles here than in Columbier, which is where we go to snorkel with them.

    We stayed in near this village during our two week stay in Saint Barth. It's different from other parts of the island being more authentic. Not much to see except for the quiet beach that has a view over the fort in Gustavia. During the new year all the yachts that are too big for the harbour in town throw anchor in the water outside.

    I love Petite Anse, but mainly for snorkeling or a quick pincic. It's not really a beach but more of a rocky cove.

    We stayed in a Villa in Vitet. You're up on a mountain, looking down at the ocean right where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. Wow, what a site, so beautiful. The roads are quite narrow, and people drive a little crazy, but I didn't mind.
