Tropical beach in St. Barths
Saint Barthélemy — called St. Barts or
St. Barths more often than not — is a small,
volcanic, French-speaking island found in the
calm waters between Anguilla and St. Kitts
& Nevis. Known for its designer boutiques
and yacht-laden harbor, it’s the ideal island to
take kids thanks to its lowkey vibe. Without a
great abundance of tourists, the island is free
of tourist traps, thus creating a peaceful place
with authentic culture to explore at your whimsy.
And there’s much here to explore. The
beaches, all 14 of them, are the epitome of
pristine. Kids love St. Jean Beach to watch
planes take off and land at the nearby airport,
Lorient Beach to splash in the crystal clear
tidepools and Grand Cul de Sac lagoon to
snorkel or paddleboard in the calm waters.
Yachts and sailboats are standing by to whisk
you out into the water and around the island.
Beyond the sand and sea, families are
drawn to the island’s natural gifts. Hiking trails
criss-cross the island, on which you can spot
feral goats leaping on the rocky outcroppings
and feed friendly iguanas hibiscus flowers
(they like the red ones best!). And after hiking,
parents can enjoy poking around the boutique
shops in Gustavia, followed by a freshlyprepared
dinner at one of the many Frenchinspired
restaurants.
