Petite Anse
✨ Hidden gem
Petite Anse is a lovely cove near Bouillante on Basse-Terre's west coast, offering good holding on a sandy bottom in around 6m. It's well sheltered from the trade winds, and while the occasional squall can bring some gusts over the hills, it stays remarkably comfortable even with a bit of westerly swell. The water is strikingly clear, and you'll likely share the anchorage with sea turtles cruising the shallows beneath you.
