Best Spots for Water Sports in St. Barth
Grand Cul-de-Sac is the epicenter of wind sports — kite surfing, wing foiling, and paddle boarding thrive in its protected lagoon. Lorient and Anse des Cayes are where surfers head when the winter swells arrive. Colombier, accessible only by boat or trail, offers some of the best snorkeling on the island. St. Jean beach is ideal for beginners learning paddle board or kayaking. And for jet skiing and wakeboarding, the open waters along the west coast between Gustavia and Flamands provide the perfect conditions.
