Anse d'Azur, Caribbean beach in Haiti.
Anse d'Azur is a beach in Haiti where deep blue water meets a long stretch of pale sand lined with palm trees. The shore extends gently along the southwestern coast and provides wide access to the sea with shallow areas for swimming.
The beach became a popular destination in the mid-twentieth century after initial coastal infrastructure was developed in southwestern Haiti. This development made the location accessible for leisure and recreation.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals spend time together, particularly on weekends and during warmer months. Visitors notice people swimming, fishing, and socializing along the shoreline.
The best time to visit is in the morning when the water is calmer and the sun is not too strong. Access is by local transport from nearby towns, so visitors should plan to depart early.
Different fish species gather in the waters at various times of the year, which visitors can observe directly from the shore. This natural display attracts local researchers and makes the water interesting for snorkeling or simple observation.
