Saint-Barthélemy (St. Barts) is a French island located in the Caribbean, among the Leeward Islands. The island is also known as Saint Barts, Saint Barths, or Saint Barth. St. Barts is surrounded by wonderful beaches in coves with dazzling white sands and emerald waters. By law beaches are all open to the public, so stop and feel the sand between your toes at any of them -- and don't forget to take your snorkelling gear along for a look under the surface of that clear tropical sea. |

The quaint harbour town of Gustavia (the name a throwback to Sweden's only Caribbean colony - in the 18th century) is well worth a visit to experience it's uniquely French ambience. Restaurants and shops are especially Gallic in nature. |

| St. Barts has a small airport that is served by small regional commercial aircraft and charters. Most visiting aircraft carry less than twenty passengers, such as the Twin Otter, a common sight around Saint Barths and throughout the northern West Indies. The short airstrip is right on the beach and incoming planes fly right over the heads of sunbathers. The nearest commercial airport is on the neighboring island of Saint Martin. | ![]() |
