How to Get & What to Do in Gouverneur in St. Barts

Gouverneur Beach is located in the southwestern region of the island, about 3.5 km from the town of Gustavia.

You can drive to the parking lot just a few steps from the white sand of this beach. When you find yourself on the shore, you will know that the trip to Gouverneur Beach in St Barts was worth it.

The road is hilly and narrow, so we recommend driving with caution.

The mountains form a small bay at Gouverneur Beach, with almost non-existent waves, making it one of St Barts' favorite beaches for swimming and snorkeling.

The lack of waves means the water remains calm, allowing you to fully appreciate the spectacular range of colors that changes throughout the day.

Gouverneur Beach is one of the most frequented beaches by families or individuals looking for a place to relax and enjoy a quiet day.

The stretch of sand is perfect for sunbathing while your loved ones have fun in the water.

There is very little shade at Gouverneur Beach, so keep this in mind when visiting. You should also pack a snack and something to drink, as there are no restaurants in the area.
