From dawn to dusk, you’ll live by the rhythm of the sun and marvel at the morning and evening glow painting the clear waters of the Caribbean.
The volcanic origins of St-Barths
Like Saint-Martin and Anguilla, Saint-Barth is primarily a volcanic island. The three islands form the emerged part of a high plateau known as the "Banc d'Anguille", which is itself a portion of a volcanic arc known from the Virgin Islands to Martinique. Volcanic activity took place from 43 to 39 million years ago, i.e. over a period of four million years, with volcanoes emerging at low altitude and spewing ash and volcanic debris into the nearby lagoons, forming volcano-sedimentary rocks (tuffs). At the same time, calcareous rocks were deposited in the lagoons. Today, the geography of Saint-Barths tells its own story through its strata, and rocks.
The beaches of St-Barths
The beaches of St-Barths are renowned for their beauty and marvelous landscapes, surrounded by hills, white sand, pebbles, and lovely seashells. Resulting from geological and natural processes over millions of years, the island features 22 beaches spread along its 32 kilometers of coastline, ranging from long, white sand beaches to secluded coves. The volcanic origin of the island explains this variety of landscapes. The beaches of St-Barths are formed by the erosion of the surrounding rocks, mainly composed of limestone and volcanic rocks. Waves and ocean currents also play a crucial role by carrying sand and gravel along the coast and creating sandbanks and sheltered bays.
