Guide

Approach and anchoring

Sand bottom with reliable holding. Sheltered from north-east round to south, and Anguilla to the north breaks up part of the swell, but the bay is open to the west and north-west. Gusts make boats swing widely, so leave room. Rocher Créole is 0.7 NM north.

Practical

Dinghy dock in the village, close to the restaurants and shops. Lock the tender and outboard, thefts have been reported. No anchoring fee.

Ashore

The lolos, open-air grills serving ribs, chicken and local fish, line the beach. On Tuesday evenings in the season, usually January to March, the Mardis de Grand Case street fair closes the boulevard to traffic for crafts and local food stalls.
