Acomat Falls, Waterfall in Pointe-Noire, Guadeloupe.
The nine-meter-high waterfall forms a natural pool at its base, with emerald-colored water flowing through the rocky formation in Basse-Terre Island.
The waterfall has maintained its natural state throughout generations, becoming a central geographical element within the River Grande plaine landscape of Guadeloupe.
Local residents gather at the falls during weekends for recreational activities, making it an integral part of community life in Pointe-Noire.
Located two kilometers from RN2, the falls require appropriate footwear for access, and visitors should avoid swimming during rainy seasons due to flooding risks.
The waterfall creates distinct whirlpool formations in its emerald waters, while the surrounding rocks display patterns shaped by centuries of water flow.

Guadeloupe has many surprises beyond its main beaches and usual tourist sites. The archipelago hosts places where nature and history come together: waterfalls hidden in the rainforest such as Acomat in Pointe-Noire, spectacular geological formations like the Gullet Grand Gouffre in Marie-Galante where sea jets reach over ten meters high, or beaches with distinct features like Anse du Souffleur in Port-Louis with its calm, shallow waters, or Cluny Beach in Sainte-Rose lined with dark volcanic rocks. These lesser-known sites also tell the story of the archipelago. The Slave Trails in Petit-Canal, carved into stone in 1830, bear witness to the island’s painful past. Fort Fleur d'Épée in Gosier, built in the 18th century, offers views over the bay and preserves its old artillery pieces. The Historic Coffee Plantation in Vieux-Habitants showcases the stages of colonial coffee production with its historic water mill. On the natural side, Petite Terre Nature Reserve near La Désirade protects two islands where sea turtles and dozens of fish species live among coral reefs. These sites encourage discovering a different side of Guadeloupe, away from the typical routes.
