Anse De Sables Beach
Anse de Sables Saint Lucia
Anse de Sables Saint Lucia is one of the country’s most unspoilt and longest stretches of beach. Almost two kilometres long, the beach opens out into a reef-enclosed, shallow bay and is one of the most picturesque locations in Saint Lucia. The beach curves slightly into the wind which has made Anse de Sables Saint Lucia a favourite among kiteboarders and windsurfers.
Anse de Sables - Windsurfers’ Paradise
This windward beach has proved extremely popular among windsurfers for years, and The Reef Kite & Surf Centre, one of the Caribbean’s most legendary establishments, was founded here in 1994. The downwind end of Anse de Sables offers the perfect conditions for windsurfers and kiteboarders of all levels. From amateurs to experienced adrenaline-junkies, there is plenty of space for some serious water action. If all of this seems a little too strenuous for the average sun-worshipper, then it is equally enjoyable watching from the comfort of your beach towel, wide-eyed as kiters and windsurfers skip over the water and execute daring flips and somersaults. With the two uninhabited Maria Islands in the distance and surrounded by the verdant Pointe Sable Nature Reserve, Anse de Sables Saint Lucia is one of the most beautiful and serene locations in the Caribbean. From the shore, you can see distant white caps on the ocean which indicate where the coral reef hugs the bay and even in high temperatures, the fresh ocean breeze is soothing on the tanned skins of sun-worshippers on the beach. Anse de Sables Saint Lucia is conveniently located from a number of the island’s most famous attractions. There are several national parks within 10-miles of the beach, including the Edmond Forest Reserve and Quilesse Forest Reserve, although the Maria Islands Nature Reserve, only 1 mile away, is undoubtedly the area’s biggest attraction. In addition, there are plenty of tour operators that can provide transport to the nearby La Soufriere volcano or the imposing twin peaks of the Gros and Petit Pitons, less than 13 miles away from Anse de Sables.
