Ilet Caret island

Ilet Caret is a tiny islet to the northeast of Basse Terre island in Guadeloupe. In a better times, there were many palms, but as for now there is not a single tree. So in fact, it’s just a sandbank with mediocre snorkelling. As the place is overcrowded, and the tours are expensive, - there's nothing to do here! Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels in Ilet Caret island, while overnight camping is prohibited. However, even if you could stay here, this is a bad idea to spend a night in the open ocean.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Guadeloupe international airport (PTP). Next hire a taxi to the town of Sainte Rose, and take a daily boat tour to Ilet Caret (65 euros per parson).

When to go [edit]

The best time for a holiday on Ilet Caret beach is a dry season from January to June.
