Observation only from the margins; do not walk into the pond edge or flush roosting birds. Dogs are BANNED on all island beaches by municipal decree 86-27.
Grand Cul-de-Sac, behind the lagoon, St Barths
Coastal salt pond and wetland owned as a protected littoral site, backing the lagoon; the island's main standing-water bird habitat alongside the salt ponds.
Free, self-guided, viewable from the roadside and path edges without entering the wetland. The ATE has counted pond birds here MONTHLY SINCE 2011, so it is an actively monitored site rather than a casual stop.
