.
Wait at the gate, and a buggy will take you down to the beach. Come late afternoon - as
the sun-low sky deepens to orange, this beach just might be heaven, despite the fact that it
has been partly privatised by the hotel. Visitors can use the hotel's beach restaurant for
food and drink.
Anse Soleil
The idyllic little beach of Anse Soleil is a pocket-sized paradise where you can pause for
lunch; there's a beach restaurant (

. It's accessible via a secondary road (it's
signposted).
BEACH
Anse Louis
To the north of Anse à la Mouche the coast is a bit less glam but appealing nonetheless. If
you can find access to Anse Louis, where the super-swish Maia resort (

lies,
you'll be rewarded with a superlative beach you never knew existed.
BEACH
Grande Anse
Grande Anse is an immense swath of sand that glimmers with a fierce but utterly enchant-
ing beauty. No other beach provides the same opportunities for long, solitary walks. It's
not suitable for swimming, though, due to strong currents.
