Top 10 Things to do in Gustavia, St. Barthelemy

July 13, 2021 Christa Meece

Red roofed buildings speckle the lush tropical landscape in Gustavia, St. Bart's tiny, relaxed Caribbean capital whose historic sites can be reached in one day of trekking around town. 17th century forts line the harbor, from Fort Karl in the north to Fort Gustaf with its lighthouse and cannons in the south. Near Fort Gustaf is the popular Shell Beach, where beachcombers rove for sparkling shells. The town's many duty-free boutiques call to shoppers while cozy cafes offer views over the harbor.

Shell Beach

This beach is littered with shells for that perfect vacation memento.

Reviewed By LKhor - Atlanta, United States

Love this beach. You can bring your own food and drinks for picnic or rent beds from Shellona and get full service! Lots of families and locals come here to swim and chill out. Popular with locals and tourists alike. Sunset was great, not quite the egg yolk that I wanted to see, but still worth waiting for.

This is a quick walk through museum with a lovely curator and warm reception. String this together with the other historical attractions to make for a great hiking loop.
