For those, who are the beach lovers Sainte Anne on the south coast has the best offer: nice, calm palm beach just at the center of the little town. Even kids can swim here without the risk.
I went to see the Pointe au Pitre after years. The capital of thd island is much cleaner and they restored many buildings using EU money. It is hard to believd that we have a piece of European Union in America!
I decided to rent a car for the last day of my stay on the island.
Many agencies offer rentals starting from 23 eu per day. I trust in Avis – they have office only in the airport. It is not necessary to pay for expensive taxi to get to the airport. Take any northbound bus from Gare Routiere Bregavin (0,90 euro) and get of at big shopping center before Abymes. Then take the road going left before shopping center and after some 2 kms you will be at the airport.
Once in tge car I was heading north – to Pointe dela Grande Vigie – northern cape of the Gwadeloupe. Good, paved road goes as far as car park – 50 kms from the airport. Then you have to walk about 100 m on the coral rocks to the windy viewpoint on the cliff. There are great views to the both sides, but better lighting is probably in the morning.
