Anse-Bertrand, Administrative commune in northern Grande-Terre, Guadeloupe
The municipality extends over 62.5 square kilometers of Caribbean coastline, with cliffs rising 80 meters above the Atlantic Ocean at Pointe de la Grande Vigie.
The territory served as the final settlement for Carib Amerindians in Grande-Terre before becoming a French commune with substantial sugarcane production in the colonial period.
The town maintains French Caribbean traditions through regular events such as Nwèl Kilti é tradisyon and local craft workshops focusing on traditional basketry.
The town hall, located in Le Bourg district, handles administrative procedures while the nearest airport, Guadeloupe - Pôle Caraïbes, is 22.4 kilometers away.
From the cliffs at Pointe de la Grande Vigie, visitors can see three different islands: La Désirade at 50 kilometers, Antigua at 70 kilometers, and Montserrat at 80 kilometers.

Guadeloupe has many surprises beyond its main beaches and usual tourist sites. The archipelago hosts places where nature and history come together: waterfalls hidden in the rainforest such as Acomat in Pointe-Noire, spectacular geological formations like the Gullet Grand Gouffre in Marie-Galante where sea jets reach over ten meters high, or beaches with distinct features like Anse du Souffleur in Port-Louis with its calm, shallow waters, or Cluny Beach in Sainte-Rose lined with dark volcanic rocks. These lesser-known sites also tell the story of the archipelago. The Slave Trails in Petit-Canal, carved into stone in 1830, bear witness to the island’s painful past. Fort Fleur d'Épée in Gosier, built in the 18th century, offers views over the bay and preserves its old artillery pieces. The Historic Coffee Plantation in Vieux-Habitants showcases the stages of colonial coffee production with its historic water mill. On the natural side, Petite Terre Nature Reserve near La Désirade protects two islands where sea turtles and dozens of fish species live among coral reefs. These sites encourage discovering a different side of Guadeloupe, away from the typical routes.
