Grand Cul de Sac
Grand Cul-de-Sac is a striking contrast to the other beaches of St. Barthelemy as it has a shallow, reef-protected lagoon with shimmering blue waters that make you feel like you’re in a natural swimming pool.
A hub for watersports, it’s one of the most family-friendly neighbourhoods, offering safe swimming, kite surfing, paddle boarding, and barefoot-casual dining along the shore. For travellers who love being active on the water, Grand Cul-de-Sac is an unmatched St. Barts vacation rental spot.
Beaches & Lagoon
The lagoon of Grand Cul-de-Sac is sheltered by coral reefs, which keep the waters calm and shallow.
This makes it ideal for children and less experienced swimmers, while also creating perfect conditions for paddle boarding, windsurfing, snorkelling and kayaking. The bay is dotted with small hotels and beach clubs, making it a lively yet laid-back scene for travellers.
Top Restaurants & Bars
Grand Cul-de-Sac is home to several stylish beachfront restaurants and boutique hotels.
Le Sereno Al Mare Restaurant is a chic, open-air beachfront restaurant with modern Mediterranean flavours and sweeping lagoon views.
Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa features Amis St. Barth and Abyss, where they serve elegant French cuisine with a Caribbean flair.
Along the lagoon, casual beach bars and local spots create a relaxed atmosphere, serving fresh seafood and cocktails you can enjoy while burying your feet in the sand.
Things to Do
This neighbourhood is the island’s playground for watersports. Guests can book kite surfing lessons, rent paddle boards, or snorkel the reef to spot colourful fish and sea turtles.
Boat excursions also depart from the lagoon, making it a gateway to sailing adventures. For those who prefer to stay on shore, the bay is ideal for barefoot walks along the beach accompanied by views of the sunrise.
