Plage de l’Anse Michel
France · Martinique
The beach of Anse Michel, located in Sainte-Anne in the south of Martinique, is a beautiful stretch of fine sand shaded by coconut trees and raisin trees. Protected by a coral reef, it offers a calm turquoise lagoon, perfect for family swimming.
It is a well-known kitesurf spot throughout the island, with excellent conditions for both beginners and advanced riders. Schools like Alizé Fun offer lessons, and the view of Îlet Chevalier adds to the charm of the place.
Relaxed atmosphere with a restaurant right on the sand and possible hikes on the Trace des Caps.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Anse Michel beach is oriented southeast, directly exposed to the trade winds that blow regularly and side-on or side-shore depending on the exact wind angle. The water surface remains calm and flat thanks to the coral barrier that breaks the swell, ideal for freeride or foil navigation, even in sustained winds.
Launching is easy from the fine sandy beach, with no obstacles, and a wide take-off area under the coconut trees. The navigation area extends in the protected lagoon, up to about 300-500m from the shore before the reef, where caution is needed not to get too close.
At low tide, the lagoon is even flatter and shallower near the shore, perfect for beginners. The best winds come from the northeast to east, side-on perfect for this exposed spot. Local feature: constant wind all year round except in the calm season, and the presence of schools on-site for gear and coaching.
