Anse de Nogent beach

Anse de Nogent is a large beach in Basse Terre island, Guadeloupe. The central bay area is not suitable for swimming, as the bottom is rocky. That's why, most visitors walk to the right. The east end features a lot of tree shade and good entry into the water. However, you won't feel very nice there due to the smelly sewage (probably) coming from the nearby houses. On the other hand, the extreme west end of the bay is quite different. It may offer a pleasant and completely deserted dune with a couple of trees and a view of the pasture. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
