Plage La Caravelle
France · Guadeloupe
The Caravelle beach, located in Sainte-Anne in Guadeloupe, is one of the most beautiful beaches in the archipelago. Facing the village of Sainte-Anne, this Club Med beach offers a paradise-like setting with its crystal clear turquoise waters, white sand, and palm trees lining the shore. It is a spot highly appreciated by kitesurfers for its relaxed atmosphere and easy access.
The Caravelle spot has become a reference in Guadeloupe thanks to its exceptional flat water conditions and well-developed infrastructure. The Glisse & Kite Caraïbes school, established directly on the beach since 2012, is the official provider for Club Med and offers training for all levels as well as quality rental equipment. It is a place where riders can progress in a friendly and safe environment.

The Caravelle spot primarily works with East wind, offering regular side-shore conditions that are ideal for kitesurfing. When the wind shifts to Northeast, conditions become disturbed and less regular on the beach, which can complicate practice. With Southeast wind, conditions become regular side-on.
The launch area is a small very flat basin that offers exceptional conditions for freestyle and freeride once at sea. However, launching from the shore can be sporty and complicated due to the limited space on the beach and the presence of many palm trees that disrupt the wind. For this reason, schools often offer boat launches with jet ski assistance, which increases practice time on the water. The boat anchorage is good and safe, allowing for comfortable navigation.
Once at sea, you will enjoy a large space with extremely flat water, ideal for progressing safely. The spot also allows access to wave areas on the reef offshore for more advanced riders who wish to vary their practice.
