Lorient

Welcome to Lorient, a laid-back beach on the north coast of St. Barts, favored by surfers and those seeking a quieter alternative to the island's livelier shores. Framed by an offshore reef that tames the swells save for its wilder western edge, Lorient offers calm swimming waters alongside excellent waves for those chasing an early morning surf session. Just east of St. Jean, this understated stretch of coastline reflects the more relaxed, local side of St. Barts' island lifestyle.
