Anse des Galets

L’Anse des Galets, qui abrite la plage de Shell

Beach, est rapidement accessible depuis Gustavia.

Le mouillage n’y est pas très protégé et

constitue surtout, par beau temps, un bon arrêt

déjeuner. La plage, toute proche du centre de

Gustavia, a perdu une bonne partie des petits

Saint-Barthélemy

coquillages qui la recouvraient et auxquels

elle doit son nom. Attention : l’ancrage est strictement

interdit dans la zone d’atterrissage du

câble sous-marin de télécommunication au

niveau de la plage de Shell Beach. Cette zone

est délimitée par six bouées de signalisation.

Shell Beach

Shell Beach (Anse des Galets) is located a short

walking distance from the center of Gustavia. It

owes its name to the thousands of small shells

that were deposited on the beach when the

Port of Gustavia was dredged many years ago,

but many of these shells were washed away in

recent hurricanes.

Anchoring here is generally calm, and especially

in good weather provides a nice spot to

stop for lunch. But it is important to note that

mooring is strictly forbidden in the zone where

a major underwater telecommunications

cable arrives on Shell Beach. Six signalization

buoys define the limits of this zone.
