Anse Belley kitesurf spot

Guadeloupe · Grande-Terre

Spot currently openBeginner levelAltitude 2 m 16.23 | -61.37

Overview

Well-sheltered spot with steady wind coming from the southeast, which pushes you back to the beach in case of trouble. Official spot dedicated to kitesurfing by the municipality of Sainte-Anne, signposted on the local road. You can stand in the water for 200m then it's 2.5m deep up to the coral reef which is about 400m out and not recommended to cross. Downside: sargassum seaweed that accumulates on the beach in July-August, but it's manageable. No fresh water available for rinsing, though there is a small pond for temporarily cleaning equipment (water clearly not drinkable!).

Parking

Plenty of parking available. Plan for a car wash if using a rental car, as the terrain is muddy. Beware that rental agencies charge 50 EUR for car washing, so don't hesitate to do it yourself.

Wind specificities

Wind comes from the southeast, pushing you back to the beach. If you lose your board, you'll find it on the beach, as long as you didn't lose it beyond the coral reef which is quite far out, beyond the lagoon.

Hazards

Crossing the coral reef is risky even for advanced kiters as you may hit the reef. Otherwise no particular dangers.
