Shell Beach

4 months ago

Very beautiful beach! The water is crystal clear though there can be a strong current at times. It’s a popular spot for both locals and tourists. No need to worry about getting sand all over your body since the beach is made up of small shells instead. I also felt safe leaving my belongings around, which made the experience even more relaxing.

Lovely small beach with millions of small shells instead of the usual sand. Quiet, bring your own sun protection as theres no shade. Jets ski hire available.

Nice place to bring the kids to sort through shells and watch hermit crabs. We were able to find close parking at 5pm and the sun was off the beach so it was pleasant to sit in the natural shade.

Another beautiful beach on St. Barth. We stopped here on a little trip around the island in a rental car. We parked a block away and walked. I didn’t see a parking lot and if there is one it is small. Street parking is plentiful. The shells are ground up. There weren’t big chunks like I was thinking there would be. You can walk on it no problem. It was easy to find. We didn’t stay very long, I just wanted to see the shells. We grabbed a drink from a neighboring bar and kept on our adventure.

Visited December 2025 A pleasant enough beach and very pretty. Sadly, it is not very big and lacks shade but, it was ok - certainly nothing to write home about.
