Anse Laborde Beach, Caribbean beach in Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe.
Anse Laborde Beach stretches roughly 500 meters along the Caribbean with white sand bordered by sea grape trees and catalpas. A small promontory marks one section of the coast where key visitor facilities are located.
The area has been a traditional fishing ground for local fishermen for generations, who relied on its waters to support their communities. This long fishing heritage shaped the character of the place.
The beach hosts annual ox-pulling competitions during the patron saint festival, maintaining a connection to regional agricultural traditions. These events draw visitors who want to experience local customs and community life.
The location offers restrooms, showers, a restaurant, and parking easily accessible at the base of the small promontory. Most visitors find everything needed for a day at the beach gathered in one central area.
From certain points along the beach, visitors can watch pelicans diving for fish and spot the islands of Montserrat and Antigua on clear days. This distant island view makes the beach a rewarding spot for watching and photography.
