Ravine Paul Thomas Anchorage
16° 17.2′ N · 61° 48.2′ W · approximate
A small cove south of Deshaies off Plage Paul Thomas, rated the top anchorage in Guadeloupe by noforeignland users - sand holding with snorkelling on both sides and a quiet atmosphere.
Practical
Coordinate approx: about 200 m off Plage Paul Thomas (OSM way 481798722), checked as open water. Reviewers describe good holding in sand, sheltered from strong winds, quality snorkelling on both sides, local activity at weekends, and tidal currents that can swing boats - set the anchor with that in mind. Open to the west.
Best for
A quiet overnight and snorkel between Deshaies and Pigeon
Season
Settled trades; avoid in northerly or westerly swell
