How to Plan the Perfect Destination Celebration in St. Barths, According to an Expert Travel Advisor

"I recommend stopping at Saline Beach when touring the island for a secluded, picturesque beach experience." - Kristen Korey Pike

"Early Morning Swim at Saline Beach Saline is the most beautiful and the most famous beach in St. Barths . From the shore, you cannot see any building: no fancy bar, no posh restaurant, nothing. Just the wild beach and you. Saline Beach never really gets crowded, as the island is too small to have actual crowds. But it is a true luxury, early morning, to come there for a nice swim. More than once, I've been able to be the only one there. This long, beautiful, renowned beach was just mine! It is okay to do nude sunbathing in Saline, but it's better if you do it on the far sides of the beach. Indeed, the middle part is where the trail arrives from the parking lot and you do not want to make families feel uncomfortable. Even if nobody really cared. Again, early morning, it is just a couple of people here and nobody minds if you swim naked in this pure Caribbean blue water. Vive la liberté ! My tip: Bring a bottle of water if you are planning on staying for long, as there is no store on the beach. Nothing! By Thibault Masson"
