Sue, Ida and I declined the SS offered excursions for our sailing, but Susan Walsh said there is a gorgeous beach very close to where the tenders drop you off in St. Barts, Googled St. Barts and got this entry:

(Beach) Anse du Gouverneur. Because it's so secluded, nude sunbathing is popular here; the beach is truly beautiful, with blissful swimming and views of St. Kitts, Saba, and St. Eustatius. Venture here at the end of the day, and watch the sun set behind the hills. The road here from Gustavia also offers spectacular vistas. Legend has it that pirates' treasure is buried here somewhere. Anse du Gouverneur, St. Barthélemy.

ps..try www.sbhonline.com for insider info e.g.:
