Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, the island of Saint Barthélemy is often seen as a paradise for couples or jet-setters. But it’s also an idyllic destination for a family vacation. Calm beaches, kid-friendly water activities, welcoming restaurants, and unspoiled nature—St. Barth has everything to charm both the young and the young at heart. And to fully enjoy this tropical escape with complete freedom, nothing beats having the right vehicle for your crew. With Dollar SBH, you benefit from a family-friendly fleet and convenient services—such as baby seats available upon request.

A Compact Island, Perfect for Families

Unlike other larger Caribbean destinations, St. Barth is small, safe, and easy to explore. In just 30 minutes, you can reach any beach or village on the island. It’s the ideal environment for families with kids: no long drives, no traffic jams.

Winding roads and breathtaking views turn every trip into a family adventure. Renting a car is essential to explore at your own pace, and Dollar SBH offers a wide range of well-maintained, air-conditioned vehicles—from compact cars to family SUVs, including the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, a favorite among larger families.

Peaceful, Safe Beaches for Children

St. Barth is not just luxury and yachts. The island boasts calm, uncrowded beaches, perfect for a day out with the kids. Lorient Beach, with its shallow waters protected by a coral reef, is like a natural lagoon where children can splash safely.

Shell Beach, just steps from Gustavia, is another gem. It has a laid-back vibe, gentle waves, and a beachfront restaurant where parents can enjoy a fresh juice while the kids build sandcastles. For more action, head to St. Jean Beach: you can watch planes land just overhead—an exciting sight that always amazes young travelers.

Activities for All Ages

There’s something for everyone in St. Barth. Looking for a nature walk? Hike to Colombier Beach with a picnic in tow. The trail is easy and leads to a pristine, secluded beach. For sporty families, paddleboards and transparent kayaks are available for rent across the island.

Prefer a gentler thrill? Boat trips are a great option. Some companies even offer family-friendly excursions with swimming, snacks on board, and snorkeling gear included. And if the weather turns cloudy, the Wall House Museum is a great place to soak up some local culture in a calm, cool setting.

Eating Out with the Family in St. Barth

When it comes to food, the island has plenty of kid-friendly options. JoJo Burger in Lorient is a must for a casual bite, serving generous burgers in a relaxed setting. Grain de Sel and La Crêperie in Gustavia also offer simple, homemade dishes that appeal to children and parents alike.

For those staying in a villa or self-catered accommodation, many local caterers offer takeaway meals—perfect for enjoying dinner on the terrace after a beach day.
