Anse des Cayes runs along the northwestern coast of Saint Barth, four minutes from the airport and nine from Gustavia.
The beach is narrow and fringed with coral, and it takes the most consistent swell on the island: one of the best surf breaks here, rideable all year, with rich marine life for anyone who would rather snorkel, turtles and tropical fish included.
The mood is far more easygoing than Saint Jean, which is only minutes away.
Villas are split between the beachfront and the hills behind, the latter holding the widest views.
A villa rental in Anse des Cayes suits surfers, families who want the beach without the crowd, and anyone arriving late and leaving early.
