Plage de Bois Jolan, Caribbean beach in Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe.
The two-kilometer white sand beach features coconut palms, sea grape trees, and almond trees along its shoreline facing emerald-green waters.
The beach development began in the 1970s when local authorities designated this stretch of coastline as a protected natural area for public recreation.
Local families gather during weekends to prepare traditional Guadeloupean barbecues under the shade structures while children play in shallow waters.
Visitors can reach the beach by following National Road 4 from Sainte-Anne toward Saint-François, with parking spaces available near the entrance.
A natural coral reef barrier creates an extensive shallow water zone extending 100 meters from the shore, maintaining calm conditions year-round.
