Anse Boileau lies in a very long and quiet bay. About 2,000 steps from the
Local Administration Office mangroves form a small bird sanctuary for the
remaining part of the beach.
On both ends of the bay fishing boats are anchored. In the early morning hours
fishermen sell their fresh catch along the coastal road. Anse Boileau is
relatively narrow with a change of soft and grainy sand at different parts
of the beach. The beach is more or less flat and does not change in shape
throughout the year. At low tide swimming is impossible.
Takamaka trees and only a few coconut palms shelter Anse Boileau and hide it
from the nearby street. The mountains Mount Dondee and Mount Barbarons with
their green landscapes can be seen towards the north.
Chez Plume
At the end of Anse Boileau we can recommend Chez Plume, an excellent seafood
restaurant where you can enjoy the catch of the day and spend an evening with
friends. Try for example the coconut cake for desert, rounded off with the
locally produced Takamaka Rum. The last surprise is the bill, which comes in a
wonderful seashell with rare orchids and despite what one might expect, it is
not expensive. Open during evenings. Closed on Sundays.
