Details of activities in Anse Bertrand
Located 6 km from Anse-Bertrand, La Pointe De La Grande Vigie offers a magnificent view of towering cliffs, 90 metres high, overlooking the ocean. A truly unique sight in Guadeloupe, many tourists come here on a walking tour to discover these cliffs, which are every bit as impressive as those found in Anglo-Normandy!
At La Porte d’Enfer, another spectacular spot, the sea breaks. Yet this place has a calm and unspoilt atmosphere. And contrary to its name, this cove is a little slice of paradise. Indeed, this superb little cove is a truly enchanting green oasis, with turquoise waters teeming with colourful fish and surrounded by high cliffs. The caves carved out by the sea are impressive and can be seen from the volcanic rocks. Similarly, the region’s landscapes feature ponds and numerous windmills, relics of the past.
So, for all these reasons, far from the crowds of mass tourism, in the peaceful setting of Anse-Bertrand, you can go kayaking, scuba diving or snorkelling. You’ll find yourself in complete harmony with nature.
