Lighthouse built in 1953, with views of the Canal des Saintes, Les Saintes and Basse-Terre, and a restaurant nearby.

On February 16, 1947, a Dominican sailing ship , La Rochannia, returning from Montserrat to Dominica, sank at the southern tip of Vieux-Fort. To prevent another tragedy, the lighthouse was built in 1953 to signal boats passing through the canal near the point. You'll have a superb view of the Canal des Saintes, Les Saintes and Basse-Terre. The nearby coastline boasts a promenade with carbets for enjoying the scenery in the shade. A restaurant is located in the immediate vicinity of the lighthouse.

Le phare de la Basse-Terre
Très beau site et panorama. Une aire de pique-nique. La vue sur l'archipel des Saintes.
Une plage pas trop loin.
Prendre le temps de traverser le centre de Vieux-Fort pour la vue.

Vieux Fort, son phare, ses brodeuses installées dans un atelier juste à côté, point de vue idéal sur Les Saintes, et une petite crique peu fréquentée juste après direction Basse Terre = un après midi sympa en attendant le coucher du soleil

Magnifique site qui nous offre une vue splendide sur les Saintes et la baie de Baillif. Un bon resto s'y trouve et offre une carte simple, mais correcte. Pour les nageurs expérimentés, la mer est d'un bleu à faire chavirer tous les coeurs.
Réservez-vous un beau moment pour déguster et savourer ce merveilleux endroit.

L'un des endroits le plus magique de la Guadeloupe pour y observer un coucher du soleil avec la plage de Grande Anse Deshaies. Une vue imprenable sur les Saintes, des carbets pour pique-niquer, un coin d'eau turquoise pr les baigneurs et sauteurs téméraires, ainsi qu'un restaurant de très bonne facture. Un must-see.
