St. Barts

St. Barts has the allure of a small island. The interior of St. Barts is the prettiest of the Renaissance Islands. We will rent jeeps and explore the country side. The roads are often cut into the sides of the mountains. Highlands include the wonderfully rugged southeast coast along Grand Fond, winding along the tiny mountain roads in Vitet, scrambling around the rocks at the end of the Columbier Road and buying intricate straw work from barefooted women in traditional dress in Corrossol. Anse de Grande Saline and Anse du Gouverneur are two fabulous secluded beaches surrounded by scenic cliffs and makes a great stop for a walk and a swim with a good little roadside creperie nearby. The end of the beach at Anse des Cayes is most excellent for body surfing. There is a tiny trail leading to Anse des Flamandes from Anse de Columbier - an adventurous half hour walk over hills with panoramic views of majestic rocks and offshore islands. Sweet smelling lilies and cactus grow along parts of the path. Past hollowed out cliffs is a most amazing beach with butterflies and birds. We will take time for a short walk over to Anse du Grand Galet otherwise known as "Shell Beach" and pick shells to our hearts content and then meet in the evening at Le Select, an informal bar with plenty of life.
