Located on the southern coast, Saline is a large, unspoiled expanse of white sand and rolling surf. There is a good-sized parking lot just past the salt pond. From there, you must walk up the rocky path and over the dunes to reach the beach. The view, as you reach the crest, is spectacular and makes the walk well worth the effort. If you continue walking left, you will arrive at another beautiful bay, known locally as Petit Saline. You will need to walk over some large rocks to reach this beach, but the path is short and not difficult. Petit Saline is a small, beautiful, crescent bay, and there are usually not more that four to six other people on the beach. Although nude sunbathing is not legal in St Barth, Saline beach is known and tolerated for its nude sunbathers. The mountains behind the beach are home to wild goats, which can be seen and heard at different times throughout the day. Although there are no restaurants or bars directly on the beach, there are three restaurants just before you arrive at the parking lot.
