This was a beautiful island with crystal clear water and white powdery sand. We rented a car for the day (50 Euros) and just drove around to various beaches.

Great time exploring the island.
Driving is on the right side of road.

St. Barts is as unwelcoming as ever to day visitors. It is very French, very expensive and quite snooty. We didn't expect much and St. Barts met our expectations. We walked around a bit. The Shell Beach was nearby and nice. ...
Downtown area was really nice. We rented a car and drove all over the island for a couple of hours. Don't rent a scooter...the streets are narrow and it's very hilly and unsafe. ...
Taxi to Shell Beach: you can actaully walk up. Beach is very nice, very costly to rent beach chairs @ US$100 per person per day! Walk on to left of beach and find private alcoves and heated stones to sit on. Restaurant on beach (Shellina) is new and good! ...
