Overview

Marie-Galante

Part of the Guadeloupe archipelago and 19 miles away from the island of Guadeloupe, Marie-Galante is the third island of the French Antilles. The island is still protected from tourism but it is gradually becoming more and more exposed to it. After developing its sugar cane industry, Marie-Galante has taken up fishing as another source of income. Marie-Galante is not just a place where people spend a couple of days after going to Guadeloupe; it is in itself a genuine holiday destination. Relaxation on its heavenly beaches, water sports, visiting distilleries and mills and discovering exquisitely beautiful natural sites are all on the agenda here.

pros

cons

  •  Limited cultural attractions.
  •  Your tour ends in no time.

Our Editorial team's advice

Marie-Galante is a peaceful island. Take your time. It is a picture of Guadeloupe 30 years ago. You can take a week's rest or a few days after a trip to Guadeloupe.
Some of the most elegant beaches in the French Antilles are found in Marie-Galante. Feuillere beach, southeastward - close to Capesterre - is heavenly, between lagoons and golden sand.
Northwards, the path leading to Caye Plate offers a splendid view of Bois d'Inde and Piton coves.
In 1930, Marie-Galante had over one hundred cane mills. Visit the Bezard and Agapit mills to discover sugar cane and its history.
