Located on the northern coast of Saint Barthelemy, an island in the Caribbean Sea, St. Jean Beach - also known as Saint Jean Beach, Saint-Jean Beach, or Baie de Saint Jean - is a long crescent-shaped white sand beach. It is one of the most popular beaches on the island, positioned near the Gustaf III Airport, and has a beautiful backdrop of dramatic cliffs, hills, lush vegetation, and many ocean-front buildings, including opulent villas, homes, upscale restaurants, beach bars, boutiques, shops, and luxurious hotels, which together provide breathtaking views of the Saint-Jean Bay and the Caribbean Sea. Saint-Jean is part of the natural marine reserve of Saint Barthelemy and is promoted as an ecotourism destination, encouraging sustainable tourism practices to preserve the natural beauty, flora, and fauna of the region.
