Grand Fond Valley Vista

A window over Grand Fond

Perched on the island's eastern heights, this camera captures the Grand Fond valley, one of the most rural and unspoiled districts of Saint Barthélemy. Steep, vegetation-covered slopes descend on either side toward the sea, framing a broad panorama of hills and open sky that feels far removed from the island's chic harbours and beaches.

The Meteo-SBH weather feed

Run by the local weather service Meteo-SBH, the stream serves as a live sky and atmosphere observation point. Because it faces the open expanse above the windward coast, it offers a clear read on the trade-wind clouds and moisture that roll in off the Atlantic and shape the island's tropical climate.

A quieter side of the French Antilles

While Saint Barthélemy is famed for Gustavia and its luxury resorts, Grand Fond reveals the island's wilder, agricultural heart. The camera's elevated vantage over green ridgelines and the distant Caribbean Sea gives viewers a rare, tranquil perspective on this small overseas collectivity of France.
