Guadeloupe Beach: Souffleur

Last updated on February 18, 2016 by Claire / this article contains affiliate links (Info)

The Souffleur Beach is considered one of the best on the Guadeloupe islands due to its lagoon, beautiful colors, warm waters and the lower number of tourists. Even as I discovered it with big threatening clouds, it was one of my favorite.

INFO & PLANNING TIPS - SOUFFLEUR BEACH

Considered as one of the most beautiful beaches on the Guadeloupe Islands, the Souffleur Beach has the advantage to be isolated from the touristed area (next to the colorful little town of Port Louis). There you will discover the pleasure of the caribbeans without the crowds.

Sand & Swimming at Souffleur Beach

As you can see in the pictures below the beach is very long with beautiful white sand and turquoise water (even if because of the clouds, it is not as bright as it could be here). The water is warm and the quiet, very enjoyable for swimming. I did not go snorkelling but the reviews indicate many spots where you can see plenty of fishes.

The Waves at Souffleur beach

The weather was not all beautiful on that day so there were some very small waves. I really enjoyed them as they were making interesting shapes when reaching the sand.
