Introducing Ste-Anne

The busy town of Ste-Anne sees a lot of tourists but the big resorts are well hidden and there’s a good balance of amenities for tourists and authentic modern village life. It has a seaside promenade along the west side of town, a lively market and a fine white-sand beach stretching along the east side. The beach, which offers good swimming and is shaded by sea-grape trees, is particularly popular with islanders.

Ste-Anne is a good base for those who want to visit the islands of Les Saintes and, if you’ve got the time, Marie-Galante and La Désirade (in high season).

In addition to the beach on the east side of town, white-sand Caravelle Beach stretches along the east side of the Caravelle Peninsula, about 2km west of the town center. Its main tenant is Club Med, but the entire beach is public. There is a guarded gate to get to the beach, but anyone is free to walk right in. The unmarked road to Caravelle Beach is off N4, opposite Motel l’Accra Ste-Anne.
