A quiet, shallow bay just west of Anse à la Mouche, used by The Moorings as an overnight stop on its southeast-wind itinerary, with local restaurants and waste disposal ashore and the Michael Adams art studio by the road.

Practical

Coordinate is the OSM bay label, checked to be in the water about 70 m from the coast; sound in by eye. The Moorings 14-day SE-wind itinerary: Port Launay to Anse Poule Bleu 5 nm (power), anchor overnight; restaurants and waste disposal. Shallow, calm water with a muddy bottom near the beach (Seyvillas). Wikivoyage lists it as a surf spot when swell runs.
