Guide
Approach and anchoring
Easy approach with good shelter, by day or night. Sheltered from north-east round to south, open to the west. Watch for fish traps and the cargo ship moorings. Anchor outside the buoyed 300 metre strip off the beach: in January 2026 the commune of Saint-Louis was dealing with complaints about yachts anchoring under 100 metres from the shore.
Practical
Sand and weed bottom, with some mooring buoys and a pontoon. A regional plan provides for 66 buoys off the town beach, not yet installed in January 2026. Customs clearance at Chez Zeles, 17 avenue Raphaël Jerpan in Saint-Louis.
Ashore
The village of Saint-Louis lines the beach. The island is known for its rum distilleries and the windmill towers of its old sugar estates.
