Colombier’s secluded beach rewards those intrepid enough to make their way to its shores—it’s only accessible by hiking or by boat. But for those who make it, you’ll be greeted by a breathtakingly beautiful beach. Colombier is a curve of white sand, edged with untamed vegetation, situated on the western end of the island, where local lore says the Caribbean and the Atlantic meet. Dive underwater and you’ll spot turtles, leopard rays, and starfish. Colombier lies in the shadow of the former Rockefeller estate, which is why you’ll still hear old-timers refer to it as Rockefeller’s Beach. Indeed, it was David and Peggy Rockefeller who helped put St. Barth on the map, by buying Pointe du Colombier in 1957 and building their undulating hilltop house. The Rockefellers sold the property in the 1980s and it has not been developed, leaving Colombier a reminder of the old, wild St. Barth.
