Plage de la douche, Sand beach in Saint-François, Guadeloupe.
Natural stone basins along the beach collect seawater from incoming waves, creating spontaneous water jets through the rock formations.
The location gained recognition in the early 2000s as visitors discovered the natural phenomenon of water jets forming through limestone formations.
Local residents and tourists gather at this beach to experience the natural salt water shower, making it a distinctive social meeting point.
Visitors can access the beach via the D118 road towards Pointe des Châteaux, with parking spaces and food trucks available along the roadside.
The beach features natural stone pools where ocean waves create geyser-like water sprays, providing a natural shower experience in the Caribbean Sea.
