Plage de Gadet

Plage de Gadet is a sand beach along the coast of Deshaies with golden-colored sand and a gently sloping seabed. It stretches roughly 100 meters between Pointe le Breton and Grande-Anse beach.

The beach formed over many centuries through the constant movement of Caribbean tides and volcanic influences on the region. These natural forces have shaped this coastal area throughout history.

Local residents gather here in early morning hours to walk along the shore and search for shells in the sand. This daily habit shapes how the community connects with this small coastal area.

You can reach the beach by stairs from Gadet viewpoint or by walking the coastal path through Deshaies. Entry is free and the beach is accessible year-round.

The sandy seabed here creates calm conditions for swimming that are often safer than what you find elsewhere. The beach also tends to remain quieter than the neighboring stretches of coast.
