Gustavia/South Shore

The largest town and capital on St Barths, Gustavia reflects an inkling of Swedish culture still remaining from their occupancy over a hundred years ago. Speckled with chic French restaurants and cafés, this town provides the perfect follow-up to a day on the beach. Nothing French would be complete without loads of luxury items, and several streets are lined with boutiques specializing in the finest in European clothing, perfumes, and jewelry. The beaches are very calm.

North Shore

The northern half of the island is dominated by beaches ideal for swimming and sports. Snorkeling is most rewarding with abundant marine life at the Bay de St Jean. Windsurfers should head to Anse de Marigot and Grand Cul de Sac.

Interior

The midsection of this island is dominated by hills and volcanic mountains. Here you will find a few smaller villages and tastes of the simpler island life. Entertain yourself with hours of scenic drives and beautiful hikes through the hills.
