Guadeloupe Tourist Information
Guadeloupe, located in the eastern Caribbean Sea, is well-known for its spectacular beaches and French Creole cuisine and is less touristy among the Caribbean islands. These reasons, and many others, make this overseas department of France perfect for hideaway seekers. St. Martin, 200 km northwest of Guadeloupe, is known for its beautiful beaches and trendy atmosphere and also a duty-free harbor for shopping-lovers. Gosier is another interesting place for visitors, the heart of the island’s nightlife with many popular restaurants, bars, clubs and a casino.
Guadeloupe’s culture, the mix of African and French cultures, is best known for arts, particularly painting, music and dance as well as the islanders’ literary achievements.
