Named for the louvered wooden shutters that are a common – and practical – architectural feature across the Caribbean, Jalousie Beach is a small stretch of heaven between the grand peaks ofĆĀ Gros and Petit Piton.ĆĀ Speckled with fish, the turquoise shallows are ideal for close-to-shore snorkeling; after the break the water turns deep blue, giving safe harbor to the passing envy-inducing yacht; and the sand is as warm and soft as it should be.
