On the far side of the harbor known as La Pointe, the charming Municipal Museum on the first floor of the restored Wall House has watercolors, portraits, photographs, traditional costumes, and historic documents detailing the island's history over many hundreds of years, as well as displays of the island's flowers, plants, and marine life. There are also changing contemporary art exhibitions. It's a must-stop on your St. Barth visit, and it's free.
La Pointe, Gustavia, n/a St. Barthélemy, 97133, St. Barthélemy
Because it's so secluded, this beach continues to be a popular place for nude sunbathing. Truly beautiful, it has blissful swimming and views of St. Kitts, Saba, and St. Eustatius. Venture here at the end of the day and watch the sun set behind the hills. The road here from Gustavia also offers spectacular vistas. Legend has it that pirates' treasure is buried in the vicinity. There are no restaurants, toilets, or other services here, so plan accordingly. Amenities: parking (no fee). Best for: nudists; sunset; swimming; walking.
Le Gouverneur, n/a St. Barthélemy, 97133, St. Barthélemy
Because of its rather sheltered southward-facing location on the coast south of downtown Gustavia, this small beach sees high numbers of shells washing ashore. Despite that, the unspoken rule here is "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints." A taxi will be happy to take you here, but for most people it's a relatively easy walk. Have lunch at Shellona for music and relaxed island vibes. Best for: walking. Amenities: food and drink; restrooms.
