Anse Tillet

Anse Tillet is a sandy cove on Guadeloupe's northwestern coast, framed by two forested hills that slope toward the Caribbean Sea. The inlet creates a sheltered pocket of beach where the water and land meet in a natural curve.

This cove became known in the 1970s when fishermen established their first permanent mooring points for traditional boats here. That settlement marked the start of its role as a working fishing community.

Local fishermen work here using traditional methods that have passed through generations of Caribbean maritime families. You can watch how these practices shape the daily life along the shore.

A marked path leads down from the parking area on the main road, and you will need sturdy shoes for the steep descent. Take your time on the way down, as the trail can be rough and uneven.

The beach has no shops or tourist facilities, remaining undeveloped in its natural state where sea turtles occasionally come ashore to nest. This absence of commercial activity makes it a rare quiet retreat on the island.
