Saline Beach is St Barts’ untamed coastal masterpiece — a crescent of powdery sand where turquoise waves meet rugged hills in perfect harmony. The journey begins with a 200-metre trek through scrubland and over a low dune, rewarding visitors with a vista of undeveloped shoreline where the only distractions are seabirds and the rhythmic crash of surf. On a clear day, direct your gaze past the green dot of Île Coco and you'll just be able to spot St Kitts on the horizon. Come prepared: shade is scarce and facilities nonexistent. What you’ll find instead is raw beauty; the kind that draws naturists and photographers, all chasing that rare blend of wildness and tropical splendor. Time your visit for late afternoon when the light gilds the salt pond’s edges (the same salty pound that gave the beach its name), and you’ll understand why this beach remains the island’s best-kept escape.

The Coronado Historical Association offers a deep dive into the island's rich history, with exhibits that explore Coronado’s transformation into one of California’s top destinations. Permanent galleries highlight key moments, from the early settlers and the pivotal role of the U.S. Navy to the iconic Hotel del Coronado and the Tent City summer resort. A rotating third gallery keeps things fresh with traveling exhibits that focus on Coronado’s history, art, and architecture.

Sometimes a getaway from the crowded city life is in order, complete with relaxation in a beautiful and peaceful environment. That's exactly what one can expect from the Sanjeevaiah Park. The park is home to a huge variety of bird species, counting over 100, which makes it a huge attraction for bird watchers.

Grand Cul-de-Sac offers a shallow, protected lagoon with crystal-clear turquoise waters, ideal for families and watersports enthusiasts. The bay's knee-deep waters extend nearly to the reef, creating a safe environment for swimming and snorkelling, with frequent sea turtle sightings near Le Sereno Hotel. Three luxury hotels — Rosewood Le Guanahani, Le Sereno, and Le Barthélemy — line the shore, with waterfront dining and chaise lounge rentals. Two watersports operators offer equipment for windsurfing, kiteboarding and jet skiing.
