WE SAILED ST. BARTS - 16 BEACHES & EXCLUSIVE SPOTS YOU HAVE TO SEE!
St. Barts (Saint Barthélemy) is hands down our favorite Caribbean sailing destination. We sailed 38 miles from Anguilla to explore 16 beaches and exclusive spots around the island — here's everything you need to know.
From the crowded Gustavia harbor to the peaceful Corossol anchorage, we cover where to anchor, how to get around, and which beaches are worth your time. We visit Shell Beach, Anse des Flamands, Anse de Cayes, Baie de St. Jean, Grand Cul de Sac, Anse de Gouverneur, Colombier, and more — with tips on snorkeling, hiking, dining, and the best supermarket for provisioning.
