After a short 5 minute hike you will find a virgin beach w/no development whatsoever. The water clarity is unmatched. It is usually totally empty or very few people there. The sand is a fine white powder and once you strip down to your bare skin and become one w/the sand,surf and sun bliss awaits you. People are very discreet... more

Pristine beach - a short walk up a rocky path opens up at the top of the grass covered dunes - sugarfine whie sand - your fellow sunbathers are sophisticated, relaxed & respectful of your privacy - as you walk into the gentle surf turn around and look at the lush rolling hills behind you - no visible signs of... more

The beach at Grand Saline is my favorite, and a candidate for the best beach in the Caribbean. It's long enough for nice walks, with great sand (cool even on hot days), no rocks underfoot, no visible development to detract from its wild beauty, and it's never crowded. The body surfing was excellent every day we were there, and best... more

I traveled to St. Barts in the French West Indies with my father Fred Laplace, who lived in St. Thomas USVI back in the 1980's to visit my grandfather Marcel Laplace who has since passed away. I remember Grande Saline Beach. We will be visiting sometime in the next year to visit family on the Island.. It is a paradise... more

Bottom Line....Go Here Get Naked. Go to the eastern most end...you will see the area on the other side of the walkable rocks....it is most swimmable even on windy days. In addition if you are a snorkeler...dont be afraid to go on out close in and along and AROUND Morne Rouge Point!!! Great underwater rock formations and reasonable sea life........ more

My father also lived in St. Thomas, USVI, he now lives in Florida, But in the future I plan on visiting with my daughter to show her and tell her about... more

Very nice beach. Nice area and completely secluded - you can't even see any homes while on this beach. There was a bar/restaraunt at the location where you must park your car, but then you walk to the beach - about 1/4 mile ...maybe. Definnetely some nudity - a few local men who seemed to be proud.... and a few... more

My wife and I have been to St. Barts many times and have visited Saline Beach several times. Like all St. Barts' beaches, topless is the norm, and there is some total nudity as well, usually at the far end of the beach, and generally discretely done. The beach is fantastic, with fine white sand to a considerable depth from... more

Excellent beach for sunning and seeing crystal clear water. For American's not used to topless and nude sunbathing it takes a moment to adjust. Once there you will fit in no matter what you're wearing (or lack thereof). It is a short hike to this beach. You typically will find more locals at this beach than anywhere else on the... more
