Plage d'Anse des Châteaux, Beach in Guadeloupe, France
Plage d'Anse des Châteaux is a beach on the southeastern coast of Guadeloupe near Pointe des Châteaux. The sand is white and soft, the water is clear, but powerful waves make swimming unsafe.
This beach was historically a strategic location for watching ships and protecting the coast. A nearby fort dates back several centuries, and the area witnessed traditional activities such as fishing and local celebrations.
Few facilities are available, so bring water and sunscreen for your visit. Parking is limited but accessible, and the best time to visit is outside the rainy season between December and April.
A path on a nearby hill offers views of the island of Desirade and the surrounding sea. Local fishermen often use the beach in the morning, and visitors who value seclusion appreciate its remote character.
