Bananier
Edit SpotAbout
Nice Beach, cool people, short drive from Basse-Terre, works very often... Ideal place to feel the vibe of the West Indies!
Atmosphere:
It's the local spot of Basse-Terre wich makes the place quite crowded but a very mellow beach as well...
Additional Info:
There are several sections working at Bananier: Restaurant (right and left), Middle (left), Tortle (point break at the Eastend of the beach) and even a rocky right wich i don't know the name at the Westend of the beach.
