The setting
Les Salines beach is located in Saint-François, Guadeloupe, not far from Pointe des Châteaux. Its sand, very fine and particularly white, is known as one of the most beautiful on the island, with turquoise, clear water.
Access
You get there on foot, by a walk through the salt marshes that border the site. This walk is part of the experience, in a natural setting quite different from the rest of the coastline.
Naturism
Les Salines beach is not officially naturist, it mainly welcomes visitors in swimwear. It's the farthest part, away from the main flow, that's frequented by naturists.
On site
Visitors appreciate the tranquility of the place and the quality of the water. You need to bring your own sun protection, shade is rare there. A few reviews mention an occasional police presence, without further detail on the reasons.
