Anse du Petit Havre

This protected bay features fine sandy beaches bordered by coral reefs that create a calm, shallow basin suitable for swimming and snorkeling activities in clear turquoise waters.

The bay has served as an important anchoring point for local fishing vessels and maritime activities over the centuries, supporting the traditional coastal communities of southern Guadeloupe.

Local fishing traditions remain active in this area, with anchored boats frequently seen along the shoreline, reflecting the enduring maritime lifestyle of Caribbean communities in Guadeloupe.

The bay can be accessed by car via Route de Petit Havre with parking available near the beaches, and visitors should bring water, sun protection, and snorkeling equipment.

A distinctive rock formation called Rocher du Diamant rises from the waters near the bay, adding a notable geological feature to the scenic coastal landscape of this protected area.
