Fodor's Expert Review Shell Beach

Due to its sheltered, south-facing location just south of downtown Gustavia, this small beach is known for the abundance of shells that wash ashore. However, the unspoken rule remains: "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints." While taxis are available to take you there, most find the walk to be an easy and scenic stroll. For a laid-back island vibe, enjoy a meal at Shellona.
