Plage de Bois Jolan, Caribbean beach in Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe.

Plage de Bois-Jolan is a beach of fine sand nearly one kilometre long, on the eastern side of Sainte-Anne in Guadeloupe, next to the beach of Sainte-Anne to its west. Its emerald-green water is enclosed by a coral reef barrier. Tall coconut palms lean over pale beige sand scattered with low dark-green vegetation and fallen palm fronds.

The sources record no 1970s designation for this beach. What they do document is a municipal ruling: since 2020, the traditional Easter camping on the sand has been banned by arrêté municipal. The beach lies east of Sainte-Anne, next to the beach of Sainte-Anne to its west.

The beach is bordered by a coral reef barrier, and its name, Bois-Jolan, is the local Creole form of Bois Jolan. Since 2020, a municipal by-law has banned the traditional Easter camping that once took place here, so the sand no longer hosts the seasonal camps of local families.
