Plage de Roseau, Coastal beach in Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Guadeloupe.
Plage de Roseau in Capesterre-Belle-Eau is a flat coastal beach with several man-made coves filled with white sand. Tall coconut palms frame the water areas and create natural shade along the shoreline.
The area originally served indigenous Arawak and Caribbean peoples as a trading station and harbor. Later it became a key landing point during the colonial exploration period.
Local vendors sell traditional coconut sorbets and regional drinks in the afternoons, reflecting the culinary customs of Guadeloupe's coastal communities. This practice connects visitors directly with the island's food traditions and daily beach life.
A large parking area provides direct beach access and can get crowded during daytime hours. Swimming conditions are best in the mornings or on quieter weekdays when fewer people are present.
The multiple man-made coves with varying water depths and current patterns create different swimming conditions in one location. This makes the beach adaptable for visitors with different abilities and water preferences.
