Anse du Figuier & Anse Rodrigue Beaches

15° 51.5′ N · 61° 35.3′ W

Two small south-coast coves of Terre-de-Haut: Anse du Figuier, a sheltered snorkelling cove facing Grand-Îlet, and Anse Rodrigue, described as romantic and secluded, where pre-Columbian artefacts now in the Fort Napoléon museum were found.

Practical

Position is the Plage d'Anse du Figuier polygon (OSM); Anse Rodrigue is at 15.85797,-61.57954. Both reached by road/foot from town (15-25 minutes). Small snack bars at Anse Rodrigue are mapped in OSM. Protected from the trades by the island but open to southern swell. No anchorage sources for these coves - visit overland.

Best for

Quiet coves and snorkelling away from town
