Phare de l'Anse à la Barque, Maritime lighthouse in Bouillante, Guadeloupe

The lighthouse consists of a white cylindrical tower positioned in a cove lined with coconut palms on the western coast of Basse-Terre.

In 1931, two concrete structures measuring six meters replaced the original lights, with the main white light reconstructed in 1963.

The keeper's house, built in 1933 using materials from German post-war reparations, represents local maritime heritage.

The lighthouse emits blue, green, and red lights in six-second cycles, providing visibility up to 14 kilometers for maritime navigation.

Napoleonic fleet remains rest three meters deep in the crystal-clear waters beneath the lighthouse.
