Explore this spot near St Barthélémy. Great spot for swimming and paddling, kayaking, canoeing, surfing, supping, body surfing and body boarding. St Barthélémy, also known as St Barts, is a small island in the Caribbean Sea. It is known for its stunning beaches, lush green hills, and crystal-clear waters. The island is rocky and hilly, with a rugged coastline that is dotted with coves and bays. The interior of the island is heavily forested with vegetation such as palm trees, bougainvillea, and hibiscus plants. The island is surrounded by sparkling turquoise waters, with coral reefs that are perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. Despite being a popular tourist destination, St Barthélémy has managed to retain its natural beauty and unspoiled charm.
