Anse Mamin, Black sand beach in Soufrière District, Saint Lucia.
The beach stretches along the western coast with black volcanic sand bordered by tropical vegetation and clear turquoise waters near coral reefs.
The site contains remnants of an 18th-century sugar plantation, including stone structures and processing facilities that operated until the early 1900s.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices in the waters of Anse Mamin, casting nets from small boats as their ancestors did generations before.
The beach offers rental loungers, snorkeling equipment, and a restaurant serving fresh local food, with access via a coastal path from Anse Chastanet.
Marine biologists monitor the protected reef sections where tropical fish species thrive in undisturbed conditions throughout the year.
