Water sports, fauna and flora: the kingdom of the Saintes Islands
This tropical paradise offers numerous nautical activities and is home to some of the most beautiful bays in the world. They offer a magnificent view of the surrounding islands, Marie-Galante and La Dominique not far away. The archipelago's hot tropical climate and low rainfall make it popular with athletes of all levels.
The beaches of Les Saintes are all superb, and Pompierre beach, in the town of Terre-de-Haut, is undoubtedly the most exceptional. Fine sand, turquoise waters, limpid and of rare clarity, Pompierre beach shaded by coconut trees seems to come out of a postcard landscape.
Protected from the wind and with shallow water, at the mouth of the bay, the place is perfect for families. In water at 27° C, and after putting on your mask, you will discover the richness of the Caribbean seabed and the incredible variety of tropical fish in the Caribbean.
Hikes in the Archipelago
The most sporty can stretch their legs to the summit of Chameau. At 304 meters high, it is the highest point on Île des Saintes. This hike takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes and offers you a breathtaking view of the bay.
Marigot Bay has more accessible hiking trails. An excursion that will take you through the frangipani trees to reach the heights of the island. You will then have a breathtaking view of the Caribbean Sea.
