Hiking - Sainte-Anne coast (Fonds Thézan)

You won't get bored on this very diverse trail: animals, plants and landscapes follow one after the other at a hectic pace. A sheer delight.
Mangrove, beach, cliffs, pool, savannah and dry forest are all featured on the trail. If you are not too noisy, you might see some pelicans, snowy egrets, common moorhen, coots and green heron.
From the Anse à Saint beach, walk along the coast towards the east as far as the mouth of a small, brackish lake surrounded by red mangroves. Go round the lake and walk up towards the savannah to your right. Continue along the coast until you arrive at the foot of some "upmarket" houses. In the gully, take a quick return trip to see the attractive pool (La Piscine). The path continues, and you go past a series of bays (La Chaudière, Patate, Canot, Eblain). Every one of them has a magnificent view. The trail ends in the savannah just behind L'Anse à Eblain.
Come back the same way (retrace your steps).
Don't forget to protect yourself from the sun.
In this natural setting, you should be particularly careful and alert, since Guadeloupe is subject to natural risks. It is vital to act in a responsible way, so that everyone can enjoy the hike!
Please note: unsupervised swimming.
