Travel With Candace

Guadeloupe is actually comprised of five islands: Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Le Désirade, Les Saintes, and Marie-Galante.  I live on Grand-Terre, which is home to a number of nice beaches. Port Luis is one of the smaller towns on Grande-Terre and the beach there is beautiful, clean and never too crowded.  Port Luis’ beach is truly a locals’ haven and quite a different scene then the beaches of St. Anne and Gosier, the tourist hubs of Grande-Terre.  There are few vendors on site, so bring snacks if you want to be sure you’ll have something to munch on.  Also note that parking is 2 Euros per car on weekdays.  Beyond those points, just know it’s a beautiful place to spend the day.
