Plage de Clugny, Caribbean beach in Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe.
Description
Plage de Clugny sits on the western coast of Guadeloupe in Sainte-Rose, with golden sand protected by a line of trees running along the shore. Clear waters meet the Caribbean Sea in a gentle slope, creating a soft coastal profile.
History
The beach marked an important sea route between Deshaies and Sainte-Rose during Guadeloupe's colonial period. The location kept its natural appearance throughout the centuries.
Culture
Local residents gather here during December festivities to celebrate traditional Chanté Nwel, with music and communal gatherings filling the shore. These gatherings show how the place plays an important role in the cultural life of the region.
Practical
Swimming requires caution due to strong waves, especially in the afternoon, making morning visits better for water activities. Access and conditions are straightforward, but attention is needed for safe recreation.
