Deshaies, Coastal commune in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe
The northwestern coastal settlement extends along a deep protected bay, surrounded by green hills and bordered by several beaches with red sand.
Pirates and corsairs utilized the natural harbor as a shelter during the 17th century before French colonists established sugar plantations in 1635.
Traditional wooden Creole houses line the streets, while local markets display fresh fish caught daily by the fishing community.
The tourist office on Rue de la Vague Bleue provides information about accommodations, beach access, and guided tours throughout the region.
The botanical garden, set on former plantation grounds, contains tropical plants with viewing points overlooking both the Caribbean Sea and mountain ranges.
