Walking - Sainte-Rose coastline

With this accessible walk you can discover the coastal wonders of the north of Basse Terre. It features some stunningly beautiful views along the way !

Maurice Valy, park warden at the Guadeloupe National Park, shares some linguistic trivia with us. He is from the north of Basse Terre, where the Anona glabra was traditionally called "Cachiman à chien" (custard apple of the dog) and not "Cachiman cochon" (custard apple of the pig).

Hiking trail colour : yellow
Signs : Coastal Conservatory.

At the bottom of the parking area of the Amandiera beach (western side), start out on the marked path which leads into the forest. Come out onto l'Anse Vinty and then keep going along the coast until La Pointe Nogent. Continue along the back shore of l'Anse Nogent and then alongside the beach until you reach la Pointe Allègre. Keep going along the coast, past l'Anse des Iles. Once you get to the parking area, go past the traditional carbet huts and then go down until you are alongside the Cluny beach and continue the hike from there. Keep going on the beach, go past the picnic carbets and cross the large parking area (shower available).
Then take the small track between the trees and walk until you reach the restaurant and the signs marking the start of the trail.

N.B. As this is a circular trail, make sure you leave your vehicle at the start point.

As Guadeloupe is prone to natural risks, extra care should be taken in this natural environment. For the benefit of all hikers, responsible behaviour is very important.
Please note: the parking and swimming areas are not supervised.

The northern Basse Terre coastline includes some nesting sites for sea turtles. Please treat the beaches with due consideration !
