Four beautiful
NEIGHBORHOODS
of St. Barths
Lorient
Lorient is one of the oldest neighborhoods on
the island, and according to certain sources, the
cradle of its Catholicism. The church, destroyed
several times by hurricanes, looks out over the
picturesque cemetery near the beach, and also
hosts concerts during the St. Barth Music Festival
in January. The beach is popular with families, as
well numerous surfers who consider this one of
the best spots to hang out on the island.
Colombier
An exceptional panorama unfolds in front
of the lookout point encompassing the
northeast coast of the island, the outlying
islands, and the sea. Further to the west, on
a clear day you can see St. Martin. Access to
the beach in Colombier is only by boat or via
a footpath. A very pleasant hike!
