A French Collectivity, St. Barts is one of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean.

Now a playground for the rich and famous, St. Barts was once owned by Sweden.

St. Barts' airport, Aeroport de St-Jean (SBH), is only used for commercial flights and receives no private airplanes. You can fly there from Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Guadeloupe.

Aeroport de St-Jean is known for it's incredibly short runway and dangerous approach. By all accounts, aircraft barely clear a hill-top road prior to the real landing.

If you want to take less hectic transportation to St. Barts, St. Martin/St. Maarten has a ferry.

Once you do get to St. Barts, you are practically guaranteed a good time. The consensus of visitors there rate their experience as "fantastic."
