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.
