These gardens were so beautiful. It was fun to see such a variety and also I enjoyed how well labeled all the plants were so you could know what you were looking at. There were great photo opportunities and some good views. I especially loved seeing the orchids they grafted into the trees! I would definitely recommend visiting here!

A must see! An incredible amount of plants from all over the world. Beautiful Parakeets set in their own space. The design of the property was well thought out with the perfect photo ops. $17.50euros/pp, a free shuttle service in the area. The restaurant was lovely, although we were not hungry at the time, we opted for a lovely fruit salad that was shared ($10euros), and it was very good. Allow 2 hrs for just the grounds then more for dining.

We have been to many gardens, this one of the most beautiful tropical garden we have been to yet.

A wonderful experience, great variety of exotic plants and trees in a well cared for setting. The free shuttle bus from Deshaies town was much appreciated and the restaurant serves great food with a beautiful view. Highly recommended.

Well tended and well organised botanic garden with plenty of experience value. The chance to feed rainbow lorikeets, carp and goats is likely to be the highlight here (feed is available at the entrance) It takes around two hours to complete the one-way pathway which snakes through various thematic zones, including the stops for feeding animals and a coffee break. The landscaping is extremely elaborate, with streams, waterfalls and outcrops giving panoramic views across the surroundings. The gardens are a standard excursion for cruise ships, so after 10am they start to get crowded. Long queues for the toilets, café and entrance form even in low season.

Excellent and entertaining botanical garden. Just perfect size. Takes a bit more than an hour to walk through the guided path.

A nice place, with lots of tropical plants. The bonus of feeding kois, parrots and goats was a nice surprise. There are recorded videos for some of the spots that you can access with a QR code. I haven’t tried, but I’m wondering if there is wifi available for people while visiting the gardens. The boutique has lots of souvenirs to account for all tastes and budgets.

Any valuation of this beach really depends on what you are willing to do. If you intend to swim you need some courage and experience with hefty waves. I was at this beach twice and decided not to chance it. So did most of the people staring at the water. There is also a price tag associated with parking as it's not a free public parking. Nevertheless it tends to be quite crowded.

Perfect sandy beach. Cheap parking. Lovely.

Very nice beach, wide and long, very pretty! Water was steep and waves are strong, could also use a little more shade.

We came in the afternoon hoping there would be less people and more parking...no such luck, but we managed. The beach is one of the most scenic that we've been to in Guadeloupe and well worth it. Unfortunately we were staying about an hour from here and the drive was so twisty and steep none of us were willing to do it again. I would recommend staying in this area if a great beach is a must.

This is a great beach but please be aware this can be dangerous. The beach itself is sandy and a very steep angle so the rollers coming in pretty much bounce back on to the next incoming wave. So every so often these crash into each other giving a spectacular explosion of water, but, if your in the bad spot when it happens....well people have been seriously hurt here. Great amenities nearby with everything you could need for your visit including large coconut trees and almond trees offering cover.

This is likely the most beautiful beach on the west side of Basse Terre. A long stretch of sand, quite different in color than in Grande Terre. Not really for kids as the water gets deep quite fast and there are waves. You need to be careful when getting out of the water so you don't get pulled in back. We only went there at the end of the day, but will surely visit it if we come back. Plenty of parking found there.

A beach as you see in the movies. White Sand, blue water and palm trees. There is plenty of room in the shade to sit down. There are toilets and showers. Unfortunately the restaurants at the beach are partially closed or have unclear opening times, so it might be worth it to bring some snacks.

A great beach, it is worth a visit if you stay in this area. You can also snorkel near the rocks and see some nice fish. The trees can help with some shade for your bag and drinks or even yourself if you want to get out of the sun.

Beautiful beach and the filming site of the Inspectors House from Death In Paradise. Some big waves along this section and no lifeguards, so not a great place for swimming.

One of our favs on the whole island!! Amazing soft golden sand, picturesque palms, and a lot of room to spread out. Parking is crowded (as most beaches in Guadeloupe). The waves can be VERY large which my kids loved. If you go right past the waves (not far from the shore at all), you can have a peaceful swim. My kids loved doing the boogie boards and there were other kids there wave skimming. There are bathrooms and water to rinse off. We saw the house from the show Death in Paradise. Had drinks at the restaurant (very good drinks). Such a good day! The restaurant does blare loud music on the beach which we did not mind. If you prefer more quite, there is plenty of space to get away on this beach for a more secluded experience.

Heaven on earth what a view and is the film location for death in paradise on BBC. This was a real treat to visit in person as I have seen this on TV so many times.

Beautiful long stretched beach, great for morning strolls, not too busy this time of year. As in most parts of the west coast of the island, you’ll find calm and respectful tourism that blend in and support the local communities, clear up after themselves on the beach and cherish the paradise Guadeloupe is in the fashion it deserves to be treated. Plage de la perle is one of those places where one is exposed to this once again, and how can that not make you smile.

Beautiful beach with plenty of nice sand and blue water. To find the beach, you pull down a small alley. The parking is the the only downside as there is not much room and it is mostly in sand. There are two restaurants and one food truck as amenities. There are a few gazebos nearby as well. The beach is home to the shack from the show Death in Paradise. It is truly a scenic place and worth the stop.

Wonderful beach with nice cafe/food places. Easy access with parking very close to the beach and beautiful white sand. The beach is also a filming location for the "Death in Paradise" TV series. The house that that Detective lives in is built on the beach each year for filming and then taken down. It would be a wonderful location to have a house on the beach if you really could.

Good for family swimming because it's an inlay with not too heave waves. At times stil challenging due to high waves and underwater stones at the waterfront. Free parking available on site, with steep decline, or on the street nearby. Some palm trees carry hefty fruits that are potentially dangerous, so watch out.

The beach is calm and good to relax. There are almost no rocks or dangerous spots. It’s very chill and there is a small vendor of drinks and local products.The parking is small but not that busy.

We have been to 8 beaches so far in Guadeloupe and this has been one of our favorite as it is quiet and beautiful. The water was calm with no large waves. There were only a few people there. No bathrooms. No restaurants (there was a small cart that was closed on this day- I do think it is open some days). There are some lovely areas on each side to snorkel and we saw many beautiful fish. The sand was a lovely gold and on the north side of this small beach, the creek flows into the ocean and there is black sand mixed with the gold and it is soooo pretty. My kids liked playing in the river area in the sand. There was some trash and we found a few pieces of glass but this is pretty much every beach we’ve been on in Guadeloupe as there are no public trash cans. UPDATE! We went back one month later (so end of July) and the parking lot was completely full and impossible to park (we parked on the side of the highway along with others). The beach itself was not super crowded but more than it was early July. The river that had flowed into the ocean was dried up and the upper area of the river stagnant and dirty- I saw people using it as a restroom so I don’t recommend exploring up there. We still love the beach but it was MUCH busier for some reason. Snorkeling was still incredible and the sand marbled gold/black towards the north. So pretty!

Beautiful sheltered small dark sand beach in small cove. Some trees for shade but the shade does fill up, still it wasn't crowded. Rocks on right good for snorkeling, sand as you enter water then rocks.

What a wonderful little beach very few people lots of trees and wonderful company everybody should come to this beach to enjoy the freedom and space. Very small car park and only one bar but after a few rums who cares. Clean and gentle sea ideal for the smaller ones amongst you the avid readers🤪

Great little plage. The ocean's floor here for some reason is littered with huge boulders (unlike nearby Leroux or Grande Anse, that have pure sandy floors without single large rock under water), but that makes for fantastic snorkeling! Bring your diving masks and be amazed!

Very nice and calm beach. Not too many people, so you can fully enjoy the beach. The road to the left is quite close, but mostly unnoticeable most of the time. Make sure to watch out as to where you put down your towels, especially to not sit under the palm trees that carry coconuts, they do fall down occasionally.

Wonderful beach. Not crowded at all in the morning.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent bay, between two cliffs, with a shaded forest area at the entrance. It is accessed by walking 10 minutes along an easy track, from the parking lot which is on an embankment, next to the road. The beach is not officially nudist, but it is common to see naked people. What in France they call "tolerated." (Original) Bahía magnífica, entre dos acantilados, con una zona de bosque a la sombra en la entrada. Se accede andando 10 minutos por una pista fácil, desde el aparcamiento que está en un terraplén, junto a la carretera.. La playa no es oficialmente nudista, pero es habitual ver a gente desnuda. Lo que en Francia llaman "tolerado".

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach! Quite a bit of swell though. (Original) Très belle plage! Pas mal de houle toutefois.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent little-crowded cove, the waves are impressive, few people dare to venture there yet once past the wave of the short break, the most daring will have fun like crazy. Not at all suitable for children, people who are unsure of themselves or not used to it or who are not sporty but it is definitely worth a look and to stay there for a while and relax there. Easy and quick access (shoes or flip-flops)! (Original) Magnifique anse peu fréquentée, les vagues sont impressionnantes, peu de personnes n'osent s'y aventurer pourtant une fois passé la vague du short break, les plus téméraires s'amuseront comme des petits fous. Pas du tout adapté pour les enfants, les personnes peu sûres d'elles ou non habituées ou non sportives mais ça vaut vraiment le coup d'œil et d'y rester quelques temps s'y prélasser. Acces facile (chaussures ou tongs) et rapide !

(Translated by Google) Uncrowded beach but just MAGNIFICENT. We didn't swim there but the look was worth the detour. (Original) Plage peu fréquentée mais juste MAGNIFIQUE. Nous ne s'y sommes pas baignés mais le coup d'œil valait le détour

(Translated by Google) Just magnificent!!! Very isolated, not even 5 minutes from the parking lot. Ideal for taking beautiful photos (Original) Juste magnifique !!! Très isolée a même pas 5 mn du parking. Idéale pour prendre de belles photos

(Translated by Google) Very nice beach, watch out for the rocks on the left though! But it's worth a look (Original) Plage très sympathique attention aux rochers sur la gauche quand même ! Mais ça vaut le coup d'oeil
