St Jean, on the left shore side, is home to “La Plage” and its well-known Bikini Brunches, and close to the landing strip of St Barts airport where you can watch airplanes, like tiny toys, landing and taking off.
On this beach, you can indulge in many water sports, ranging from surfing, to stand-up paddle, windsurfing and snorkeling.
Located on St Jean beach are many different hotels and restaurants, such as the Eden Rock hotel, La Plage hotel, L’Emeraude, and Les Îlets.
By the first entrance to St Jean beach is one of the St Barts graveyard, a colorful and cheerful resting spot, a subtle celebration of what it looks like to have lived and died in paradise.
