Phare de l'Anse à la Barque, Lighthouse in Vieux-Habitants, Guadeloupe.

The Anse à la Barque lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower located on the western coast of Basse-Terre, surrounded by coconut palms and shoreline. The structure guides ships at sea and remains clearly visible from the water.

In 1931 two concrete lighthouses six metres tall were built to replace two lights judged insufficient; the fixed white light at the back of the bay was rebuilt in 1963. The keeper's house followed in 1933, a single-storey building of cement, northern wood and fir paid for with German reparations after the First World War. Cyclone Lenny badly damaged the house in November 1999 and it was restored in 2001.

The name comes from the cove itself, Anse à la Barque, shared between the communes of Vieux-Habitants and Bouillante. A second marker, built in 1950 on the point of the cove, signals the entrance at night, so boats line up the two lights to enter. The keeper's house, built in 1933, has a gallery along its facade.

The lighthouse stands at the bottom of the cove, at the boundary between Vieux-Habitants and Bouillante on the Côte-sous-le-vent. A second marker built in 1950 on the point of the Anse signals the entrance at night. The keeper's house, a single-storey building with a gallery along its facade, stands nearby.
