Description:
This is Guadeloupe's biggest town. It is a lively place with a large, well-protected harbor. It lies on the southern side of the link between Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
Approaching Pointe a Pitre from the south, the Caye Gros Loup (Sainte Marie - Capesterre Belle Eau) is now marked with a cardinal buoy lying to the east of the danger, which is lit at night.
Entrance into Marina Bas-du-Fort is via a 100m wide channel, with a depth of 10m and well marked by beacons. The docks are well-sheltered from the easterly winds and waves and within the marina there is only a low tidal range of less than half a metre.
Position:
16°13.41’N, 61°31.96’ W (entrance to marinas)
