Overview
Saint Barthélemy, or "St Barts" to most English-speaking visitors, is a French independent territory in the Leeward Islands and part of the French West Indies.
Located approximately 250 km east of Puerto Rico, Saint-Barthélemy lies near the islands of Saint Martin, Saba and Anguilla. St. Barts has a tidal difference of only 8–15 cm. The beaches vary according to ocean currents — the weather travels onto the island following the sun from the East.
Many of the full time residents are French citizens who work at the various establishments on the island. Creole language and French are the primary languages spoken, but many residents also speak English, particularly at hotels and restaurants. The native language is Creole.
Saint Barth has a small airport known as Gustaf III Airport (IATA: SBH, ICAO: TFFJ) that is served by small regional commercial aircraft and charters. Most visiting aircraft carry fewer than twenty passengers.
A favourite stop for DUTY-FREE victualling. The Euro is the official currency, although US Dollars are widely accepted.
