Plage de Leroux, Sand beach in Deshaies, Guadeloupe.
Description
Plage de Leroux is a 180-meter beach in Deshaies with golden sand lined by flame trees, where clear waters reveal tropical fish. The shoreline extends between natural rock formations that frame the swimming area.
History
The beach sits on routes that connected trading ships between Caribbean islands during colonial times. The coastline served as a landing point for commerce and exchange among the French West Indian settlements.
Culture
Local vendors sell traditional coconut sorbets using recipes that families have shared for generations across the Caribbean islands.
Practical
Free parking is available near the entrance, and the Chez Begonia grocery store nearby supplies food and drinks. The beach offers easy access and works well for swimmers who prefer shallow, protected water.
Did you know?
An underwater cave beneath the rocks creates vibrations felt under your feet when waves pass through it. This sensation is most noticeable during rougher sea conditions and offers visitors an unusual sensory experience.
