An important seaside commune, Sainte Anne offers dream beaches and an ideal location in the heart of Grande Terre for discovering the region's many other wonderful beaches.
Apart from its small craft village for shopping, Sainte Anne's main attraction lies in its beaches. For they are absolutely sumptuous: blinding white sand under the sun, a coral reef to embrace calm, clear waters with turquoise reflections, coconut and grape trees to offer their benevolent shade. These are truly postcard-perfect beaches.
The first to arrive is the one bordering Club Med. This is the Caravelle beach. Poorly signposted, you have to take the path opposite the petrol station. A word of advice: don't wait until the end of the cul-de-sac to park. A variety of water sports can be practised here, including windsurfing and surfing in the coral reef passes. It's a particularly popular beach, and extremely busy at weekends. The setting is absolutely exceptional!
