Plage de L'anse à la Barque, Natural beach in Saint-François, Guadeloupe.
Plage de L'anse à la Barque is a narrow beach with white sand positioned in a sheltered cove with clear water. Dense tropical vegetation borders the shoreline and separates the sand from the inland area.
This cove has served as an anchor point for local fishing boats for centuries. The sheltered waters protected vessels from storms and supported daily fishing activities for surrounding communities.
Die Bucht ist Ankerplatz für Fischerboote aus der Gegend, die morgens zum Fang ausfahren und am Nachmittag zurückkehren. Das Treiben der lokalen Fischer prägt das alltägliche Bild dieses Ortes.
Parking is available about 100 meters from the beach, with a shaded walking path leading to the main road between Sainte-Anne and Saint-François. The route is straightforward and easy to follow for all visitors.
At the beach's end, a coastal inlet extends into the interior where mangrove forests meet the Caribbean waters directly. This rare mixing of ecosystems makes the location botanically and zoologically noteworthy.
