"Secluded Beaches of St. Barths: Gouverneur Beach Gouverneur Beach, on the south side of St. Barths , offers good swimming and snorkeling conditions in a secluded location. This beautiful curve of white sand and turquoise waves is an island favorite, but it still offers a feeling of privacy and remoteness. Rumor has it that famous pirate Captain Monbars “the Exterminator” hid stolen treasure in a secret cave near the beach. Perhaps he knew a thing or two about the value of a secluded spot. Putting aside pirate speculation, the peace, quiet, and relaxation found upon this sand is worth the extra effort of traversing the steep winding trail leading to it. Be sure to bring an umbrella if you enjoy a little shade."

Beautiful secluded beach with ample parking. Clear water and fine sand, strong wave make for good for a fun dip but has floating seaweeds and tickles around you. Since its south facing and the sun is in front of you, literally no shades to hide.

This is the most beautiful beach on the island and top in the world in my books. Also one of the few beaches with a big tree for shade. Lots of easy parking as it has a full lot. Good for swimming with very few rocks.

Beautiful beach that is as beautiful as Colombier but without the hike. The beach doesn't have any amenities but has plenty of parking right on the beach which is great. When I visited the waves were strong and so was the breeze which meant that I was able to stay cool and enjoy the waves.

nice uncrowded somewhat long beach which was good for families and those who wanted to ride the waves to some nudiest at the far end. No amenities or hotels by the beach for refreshements, chairs or umbrellas so come prepared

Awesome beach, it been rough around the island at all beaches this year. A little tough for kids. Adults need to take care going into the water. But the beaches are spectacular...

Amazing Island!!! A small but a very nice island! All European standards, quite different from Asian islands, very clean and up to standards. I like it being small, cant find any people camping, all here are well mannered. Like I said it’s all up to European standards! Lots of small shops and restaurants as well as nice and clean beaches. It’s not as easy to get here usually 2-3 stops from main destinations, but still worth of coming!

Highly recommend Beach. Easy to parking. Long with beautiful sand and nice azure blue water. Here you can't rent beach chairs and there are no restaurant or shop , just bring your own towel and picnic

Definitely one of the best beaches on the island! The water was glowing bright blue even with a cloudy sky! When we were there it was not crowded. The waves are higher than usual though.
