Plage de L'anse à la Barque, Natural beach in Saint-François, Guadeloupe.
This narrow beach stretches along a sheltered bay with crystal-clear waters, white sand, and dense tropical vegetation bordering its shores.
This inlet has served local fishermen for multiple generations, with remnants of traditional fishing practices visible along its shoreline.
Local fishermen maintain their heritage at this cove, demonstrating traditional Caribbean fishing methods passed down through generations.
Visitors can park their vehicles hundred meters from the beach, following a shaded path from the main road between Sainte-Anne and Saint-François.
A sea inlet extends inland at the beach's end, creating distinct ecosystems where mangrove forests meet the Caribbean waters.
