In Les Saintes, you arrive at a magnificent dive site. Composed of 2 main islets: Terre de Haut and Terre de Bas, this archipelago is home to a great diversity of underwater life: coral fish, lobsters, lambis, anemones, coral, ....

You can also enjoy sandy beaches such as Pompierre, where several varieties of sea turtle, including the leatherback, regularly nest.

Don't hesitate to take a walk to Fort Napoléon, on Terre de Haut, from where you can take superb photos of the view overlooking the bay and the other islets of the archipelago. This museum doubles as a botanical garden, where iguanas can be observed.

Last but not least, you must try the sweetly-named local specialty: tourment d'amour, a small coconut tartlet.
