Anse Trabaud
Sainte-Anne
The
Anse Trabaud is a splendid deserted beach, outside of the usual
tourist path. It can be reached in car by traversing several
plantations and farms. There is a small surcharge to be paid to the
property owners to take this path.
Alternatively, the beach can be reached by walking from the beach
Les Salines. Although popular with the surf community the beach
itself is relatively unpopulated and you are sure to find your
little spot of paradise.
Due to its isolation you should take your own
drinking water etc.
Anse Michel
Cap Chevalier, Sainte-Anne
Due to the continuous winds that drive against the
coastline, the Anse Michel is popular with surfers and fun boarders
alike. White sand, coconut groves, natural rock wading pools filled
with soft turquoise water make this beach a Mecca for locals on a
Friday afternoon.
There are several
restaurants in the area, many of which are within walking distance
of the beach.
Anse
Au Bois, Anse Esprit
Cap Chevalier, Sainte-Anne
Like nearby Anse Michel, this white sandy beach
offers natural rock pools that form your own personal Jucuzzi when
the sea is calm. Passing over the rock groin at the end of the beach
you will find yet more white sand laid out before you.
At the beginning of the
beach, set back a small distance from the sand, is a restaurant.
Ilet Chevalier
Cap Chevalier, Sainte-Anne
Only a short distance offshore there is a small
island with beautiful white sandy beaches. The island has a jetty in
a small harbor allowing local boats to carry those wishing to
explore the island.
Due to the island’s
relatively basic infrastructure visitors are advised to take their
own water with them. A picnic on the beach is ideal.
Anse Baleine
Cap Macré, Sainte-Anne
Between Sainte-Anne and Le Vauclin, this splendid
white sandy beach is all but deserted during the week. It has trees
growing right to the sands’ edge under which you will find picnic
tables and a place to suspend your hammock.
You should take food and water
with you
Anse Grosse Roche
Cap Ferré, Sainte-Anne
A superb unspoiled beach, bathed in turquoise
waters, and ringed by coconuts trees. The beach can be reached only
by foot, but it is a journey you will be more than rewarded for.
You should take food
and water with you as this beach has been left undeveloped by the
locals and as such there are no facilities
Grand Macabou
Le Vauclin
A considerable distance from developed area,
reached only by following an unpaved road, the untouched beach of
Grande Macabou. The waters of the bay are never still and
occasionally larger waves strike the shore.
Be sure to take water
with you.
The Ilets
du François
Le François
The Francois isles are volcanic islands, with white
sand and splendid water. You will need to arrange a passage by boat
to reach the isles and to experience the Baignoire de Josephine, a
baptism by Rum.
