St. Barts is a wonderland for water sports enthusiasts. The beaches of St. Jean and Lorient offer some of the calmest waters for children and swimming.

The windsurfing conditions are often ideal at Grand Cul-de-Sac, St. Jean and Lorient. For board surfers, Pointe Milou (near the Hotel Christopher), Toiny and Anse des Lézards may provide excellent conditions.
St. Barts scuba diving lessons, equipment and trips are offered by services in Gustavia and St. Jean. Snorkeling opportunities abound, with gear available at various shops around the island. Water-skiing and jet skis are available, along with the amazing new "flyboard" sport. Jet skis are required to keep away from the beaches for safety and noise considerations.
