The municipality extends over 103 square kilometers of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, featuring numerous waterfalls and tropical forests.
Dutch colonists established sugarcane plantations in the area during the 17th century after Charles Houël allocated them land following their expulsion from Brazil.
The local market in Capesterre-Belle-Eau presents Caribbean products, where vendors sell fresh bananas, cocoa, vanilla, coffee, and tropical fruits.
The town hall on Rue Paul Lacavé opens Monday through Friday, with extended hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday for administrative procedures.
