Geography
Beach
Colombier has a white sand beach lined with vegetation, which is the last beach on the island not served by a public road. It is a secluded beach - an entire bay area only accessible by boat or foot. The only building which can be seen from the beach is the home of billionaire David Rockefeller, the origin of the development of a high-end tourism in Saint-Bartholomew. There are no restaurants or hotels around this beach. L'Anse de Colombier is now part of the natural marine reserve of Saint Barthemlemy.
Colombier Bay is used for snorkelling and supports a variety of marine life, including starfish and other reef-associated species.
As most of the more popular beaches on the island, the tourist season can affect the ambiance and cause increased foot traffic on this beach. Some days, especially Sundays, the anchorage is full of boats and small yachts, making this one of the more crowded beaches.
