Please respect the danger signs!   Would you like to discover an unusual, unexpected place in St Barth?   Lace up your sneakers and follow the path from Petit Cul de Sac that leads to the natural pools, a magnificent unspoiled spot with translucid turquoise water and a panoramic view of the ocean. These natural pools are not very well known, as they are located behind the rocks where the water runs clear. It’s about a 30-minute walk to get this idyllic locale in St Barth, following the coastline and its beautiful beaches, but it is certainly worth the detour.   You’ll also want to visit the natural pools in Grand Fond, the only place of its kind on the island.   ©Camellia Menard
