Anse Chastanet, Tropical beach in Soufrière, Saint Lucia
The beach extends for 400 meters along the Caribbean coast, featuring soft dark sand and coral reefs located just 10 meters from the shore.
The beach sits on a former 600-acre colonial plantation that produced cocoa and coffee until its transformation into a marine reserve in the 1970s.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at the northern end of the beach, maintaining centuries-old fishing methods passed through generations.
The beach provides complimentary snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, and access to water sports facilities at the dedicated center near the shoreline.
The coral reef system adjacent to the beach contains over 150 fish species, making it one of the richest marine ecosystems in the Caribbean.
