A designated beach area where tourists are legally allowed to wear swimwear (bikinis/trunks), as modest dress is required elsewhere on local islands.

A very authentic, 'local' vibe beach shaded by coconut trees. It’s located just a short walk/drive from its neighbor, Petit Havre. Great for a picnic or a relaxed afternoon in a less touristy setting.

A charming and sheltered cove popular with locals. The waters are calm and shallow, making it perfect for families and snorkeling. There is a small parking area.

No the best looking beach of my list, but the perfect spot to start the little hike to get to Fort Fleur d'épée, a 18th century fortification with a beautiful view on the bay

A tropical paradise just off the coast. Home to a charming red-and-white lighthouse and a cozy beach bar (Ti' Robinson) for Ti' Punch and local snacks. Reachable in 10 mins via shuttle boat from Tabarin beach pier (€5 return), or by kayak/swim for the adventurous.

Pristine lagoon with white sand. Best for: Snorkeling (look for colorful reef fish) and panoramic views. Note: Access is via a short path from the road. Perfect stop before or after visiting Pointe des Châteaux.

One of the most iconic beaches in Guadeloupe. Don’t let the Club Med hotel entrance intimidate you; the beach is public! Park on the side street (Chemin de la Caravelle) and walk through. Please respect the hotel’s private lounge chairs/areas while enjoying the stunning palm trees and turquoise lagoon.

Located right next to La Datcha. This is where you catch the shuttle boat to Îlet du Gosier. Calm waters and a nice grassy area for relaxing under the trees.

An extension of the main Bois Jolan beach. Even wilder and more peaceful. Shallow, turquoise waters shaded by palm trees. It's perfect if you want more privacy than the main spot.
