Beach· St Barthelemy· Leeward Islands
Anse de Lorient
17° 54.5′ N · 62° 49.5′ W
A quiet village beach on the north coast beside the old settlement of Lorient, calm inside its reef with a surf break offshore; the bakery and the island's main supermarkets are just behind it.
Practical
OpenStreetMap beach position. From the sea, access is for the dinghy or small multihulls only (reef and surf - Multihulls World). By land it is the provisioning stop: Marche U and Monoprix supermarkets, U Express and Jojo Supermarche, Boulangerie de la Petite Colombe and a fuel station are all in Lorient. Winter swell can bring waves onto the beach.
Best for
Quiet swim plus a supermarket run by car
