A long Atlantic-facing beach on the east side of Vieux Fort, looking out to the Maria Islands, with a beach bar and a breezy, local feel.

Practical

Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap beach (mapped as 'Sandy Beach', tagged for swimming and surfing) in Anse de Sables bay. The Reef beach bar and restaurant is at the north end (OpenStreetMap). Windward coast: exposed to the trades and swell, not a yacht anchorage; visit by road from Vieux Fort or the airport. Water-sports operators and conditions: verify locally.

A breezy beach lunch near the airport
