You have to hike for almost 30 to 40 minutes, but I assure, you will not get bored because it offers many beautiful sceneries and sometimes you see turtles and little sea creatures in a clear water.
This is a perfect place for the ones who like the isolated places. After the hike you will relax at shady and beautiful shore.

When you will walk to go on this beach the sand may be bit hot for you, so it is recommended to have sandals with you. The tourists will feel that this beach is specifically undisturbed from the development of St Barts.
Flamands Beach
This is the longest beach with the finest sand on St Bart. It is located on the Northwest side. The famous thing about the Flamands Beach is the spectacular surf and somehow the empty shores that give a sense of tranquility and if you want all the ingredients of a fine beach like some sand, some surf, some sun, and some shade than just pack your bags and go to this beach and have a good time.
The powdery sand and moderate surf make a perfect match for a beach day and from this place you will also have a view of small cluster islands on the north side. At the evening when sun dips below the hills and spread different colors through the peaks make a perfect view of a sunset.
How to choose the best beach
It’s not easy to say because every tourist has a different taste, some are fond of crowdy places and some loves the empty shores, some like to have a lunch on a resort on the beach and others wanted to have a picnic lunch on some side of the beach, some loves to do swimming while others just want to have a sunbath on the sand, so everyone have a different mindset of tour.
