Best Beaches

Favorites of S.A.B., San Francisco

“The beaches are truly spectacular. I recommend Colombier (reachable only by boat or a 30-minute hike), Flamands, Gouverneur and Saline. All are incredible for sunbathing and swimming—just don’t be surprised by the lack of clothing. Shell Beach, aptly named as it’s lined with thousands of tiny shells, is also wonderful but closer to town so there’s a slightly less exotic (yes that’s possible) feel.”
