"Because it's so secluded, this beach is a popular place for nude sunbathing. Truly beautiful, it has blissful swimming and views...venture here at the end of the day and watch the sun." Full review

Best for: nudists; sunset; swimming; walking.

Travel + Leisure

"Of the 22 beaches on St. Bart’s, this is easily in the top five because of its remote, end-of-the-earth feel...a beach that has great waves and plenty of space to spread out your towels, chairs." Full review

If you’re planning on going for most of the day, pack lunch, too, since there are no vendors (or lifeguards, for that matter, so be sure to watch if you’re kids are in the water).
