Petite Terre, La Desirade

Take a trip to Petite Terre, two protected, uninhabited islands situated 10 km (6.2 mi) from Guadeloupe. With a combined surface area of just 1.69 sq km (0.6 sq mi) , the two landmasses and their surrounding waters enjoy the status of a nature reserve. Take a boat tour out from the main island, spotting dolphins and other creatures along the way. Lounge under the shade of the palms that line the pristine sandy beaches, and arrange a visit to one of the many popular dive sites where you'll spot colorful fish, turtles, and lemon sharks. Bring your own snacks. Use our La Desirade road trip app to add Petite Terre and other attractions to your La Desirade vacation plans.
