Hiking to Colombier
The Western tip of St. Barths hides the cove of Colombier, the most protected beach of the island and natural reserve. This little haven of peace still wild deserves some efforts; no road leads the cove, so it’s necessary to go there by a winding path in the hills. The walk of about twenty minutes allows to enjoy a magnificent view of the bay. Less sporty can go there by boat... The transparent water is ideal for snorkeling. Equipped with the snorkeling gear, you can see many species of fish, and some sea turtles. On the sand, the scenery calls of idleness...
History point . At the top of the hill, only one villa overlooks the cove of Colombier. This is the former property of Rockefeller, the American billionaire who created the infatuation for St. Barths in the 1960s.
