Plage de la Datcha

Plage de la Datcha is a beach along the Caribbean Sea in Le Gosier with white sand and views of the nearby Gosier islet. The shallow lagoon area between the shore and the islet offers calm water suitable for swimming and wading.

A fishing community has maintained its presence on this shore for generations, preserving traditional Caribbean maritime practices. This connection to the sea has shaped the beach's character over time.

The beach draws locals who gather on weekends to share traditional Guadeloupean food and music with family and friends. This social gathering space reflects how the community values time spent together by the water.

The beach provides parking spaces, changing facilities, loungers, and multiple food vendors offering local food. Arriving early helps you find a comfortable spot and avoid the crowds that gather during peak hours.

The nearby islet creates a natural barrier that shields the lagoon from strong ocean waves, resulting in unusually calm water. This protective feature makes the swimming conditions exceptionally gentle and safe for all visitors.
