Plage du Souffleur, Caribbean beach in Port-Louis, Guadeloupe
Plage du Souffleur stretches along white sand shores with clear waters and views of Basse-Terre and Montserrat island across the water. The beach splits into two parts: a main section near the cemetery with amenities and vendors, plus a quieter area that requires more walking to reach.
The area connects to Petit-Canal, home to the Steps of Slaves, a memorial to enslaved people who arrived through the former colonial port. This connection marks an important part of Guadeloupe's past.
Food vendors and the Kabana Beach Restaurant serve traditional Guadeloupean dishes and contemporary Caribbean cuisine that reflect daily island life. The casual dining culture here shows how locals and visitors gather to share meals together.
The beach is accessible, though visitors should plan which section suits their needs: the main area has more amenities and crowds, while the remote section offers more solitude. Consider your energy level when choosing between walking to one side or the other.
A mangrove trail from the northern parking lot winds through natural habitats where native fish, crabs, and birds can be spotted among the roots and trees. This pathway reveals an ecosystem that most beachgoers overlook entirely.

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.
