Flamands has one of the longest and finest beaches on Saint Barth, noticeably quieter than Saint Jean and ten minutes from Gustavia.
It is also one of the few quartiers where a handful of villas genuinely sit at the water's edge, sand at the bottom of the garden, which stays exceptional on an island where building along the shoreline is restricted.
Two hotel restaurants line the bay.
One thing to know: the beach is exposed and the swell can come up on certain days, so look at the sea before going down with small children.
The path to Anse de Colombier starts at the end of the Flamands road.
A villa rental in Flamands suits guests who want the beach and the space without the bustle.
