For your displacements, is nothing worth your feet
!
The 2 nearest beach (Figuier and Anse Galet) are 5
minutes walk from
Paradis Saintois
or
Lô Bleu,
the farest (Crawen, Pompierre or Rodrigue) are
20-30 minutes walk ...
Crawen Beach
Grande Anse Beach
Pompierre Beach
We particularly recommend you
Rodrigue
(for its rural side),
Pain de Sucre
(especially in the morning, because of the sun,
nice beach with shadow as well, and perfect for
snorkeling),
Figuier,
Anse Galet
(also perfect for snorkeling, and ideal for
sunset),
Pompierre
(before 11h00 am),
Anse Mire
during the afternoon and
Crawen
(but not by rainy days, because of the dangerous
trees, mancenilliers).
Do not hesitated to ask Jean-Philippe or Maxime which beach they suggest, because they are all differently exposed...

For your excursions, you can hike
la trace des crêtes,
which starts at the left of the Grande Anse Beach
and ends at Pompierre, trail to the mont
Chameau
in order to profit of the magnificient panorama,
visit
Napoleon Fort
(open only in the morning) and its botanical
garden, take the ferry to Trois-Rivières and rent a
car to visit
Guadeloupe, ...
... or, of course, take the shuttle
Inter
and spend a day at
Terre-de-Bas:
nothing worth a short ride in minibus and discover
Terre-de-Bas charms, its secondary school, its
watertank, its airport, its Iguana swamp, and, of
course, its Grande Anse Beach and the
restaurant
"Chez Eugénette"
...
