Les Saintes is a group of 5 islands off of the south coast of Guadeloupe. It was one of our top 5 places we’ve stopped at in the Caribbean. It is quaint, occasionally quiet, and beautiful to explore. With the islands being so small it is easy to walk around or rent an electric bicycle.
Only 2 of the 5 islands is inhabited and the population of all of the islands is around 3500 people. The town of Terre De Haut is beautiful, colourful and full of people riding bicycles and scooters through the streets. Best part is there is a beautiful little pink bakery with a giant ice cream statue out front that sells the most delicious Baguettes 🤪
The water at Les Saintes is beautiful and clear. The snorkelling is incredible and you can spend hours in the water exploring many different coral shelf areas. Unfortunately the one area off of Terre De Haut where you can anchor is being torn up by anchors, the coral reaches far out into the anchorage but you can avoid anchoring on coral by checking on your navionics and keeping a wide berth around the coral areas 🦞🐠🐡
Les Saintes is a definite must stop on your way north or south up the Caribbean chain.
