Goyave Anchorage

Goyave Anchorage sits along the lush, green west coast of Basse-Terre, where the forested slopes of Guadeloupe's volcanic interior tumble down almost to the water's edge. You'll drop the hook off a quiet stretch of coastline that sees far fewer boats than the flashier spots nearby, giving it a genuinely unhurried, local feel. The small town of Goyave is just ashore, named after the guava fruit that thrives in the surrounding countryside, and worth a wander for a taste of everyday Guadeloupean life.
