St. Jean
Besides being a fun area with convenience stores, little markets and cafes and boutiques, St. Jean is quite famous for the its grand sweep of beach and the Eden Rock Hotel that is (was/will be) the center of beach life there. Surprisingly, St. Barth is a fun little surfing destination during the right swell, and you’ll see surfers out at St. Jean on a regular basis. It can get quite fun, and there are surf shops here
