Fodor's Expert Review Baie de St-Jean
Caribbean
Beach
Like a mini Côte d'Azur—beachside bistros, terrific shopping, bungalow hotels, bronzed sunbathers, windsurfing, and day-trippers who tend to arrive on big yachts—the reef-protected strip is divided by the Eden Rock promontory. Except when the hotels are filled, you can rent chaises and umbrellas at the Pearl Beach restaurant or Eden Rock, where you can lounge for hours over lunch. Amenities: food and drink; toilets. Best for: partiers; walking.
