"Long of more than a kilometer and in the shape of an arc extending from the tip of Breton in the north to the tip of Gros Morne in the south, it is the longest beach in Guadeloupe.

Its caramel-colored golden sand contrasts with the luxuriant vegetation made up of coconut and grape trees and a pond on one side, and the sea on the other.

The pond located in its eastern part is fed by the Mitan river which, punctually, following heavy precipitation breaks the dune line of the beach, bringing the sea into contact with the body of water which becomes brackish.

It is possible to visit this pond by kayak, stand-up paddle or pedal boat available for rental on the beach. "

" Longue de plus d'un kilomètre et en forme d'arc s'étendant de la pointe le Breton au nord à la pointe du Gros Morne au sud, c'est la plage la plus longue de Guadeloupe.

Son sable doré couleur caramel contraste avec la végétation luxuriante composée de cocotiers et de raisiniers et d'un étang d'un côté, et la mer de l'autre.

L'étang situé dans sa partie orientale est alimenté par la rivière Mitan qui, ponctuellement, à la suite de fortes précipitations rompt la ligne dunaire de la plage, mettant en contact la mer avec l'étendue d'eau qui devient saumâtre.

Il est possible de visiter cet étang en kayak, stand-up paddle ou pédalo disponible en location sur la plage. "
