Flamands Beach
Flamands is the island’s largest beach, boasting vast white sands and a lively village vibe complete with friendly locals and a quaint grocery store.
It’s a hotspot for kite enthusiasts who frequently gather to enjoy the ocean breeze.
While its beauty is undeniable, the waters here can sometimes be choppier, so swimmers should take extra care.
For a scenic meal, head to La Case de l’Île at Cheval Blanc Hotel or La Langouste at Hôtel Baie des Anges—both offer stunning views of this magnificent beach.
Saline Beach
Saline Beach, the island’s second-largest, is often ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. To reach this pristine spot, you’ll take a 10-minute walk over rocky terrain—so be sure to wear suitable shoes.
The effort is worth it once you see the crystal-clear waters and unspoiled white sands. There’s little shade, so don’t forget your parasol and sunscreen.
This untouched gem is free of beachfront restaurants, allowing the raw natural beauty to shine. Pack a picnic or stop by Grain de Sel on the Route de Saline for lunch before you arrive.
For an evening treat, consider dining at Esprit de Saline nearby.
A Note on Nudity
Saline is also St. Barts’ unofficial nude beach. While nudity isn’t officially allowed on the island, you might discreetly spot visitors enjoying the freedom at the far ends of the beach.
