Are the beaches in Guadeloupe generally ok with topless bathing and is there a naturist beach on any part of the island/s.

Joelle

Topless bathing is OK, but naturist beaches are not easy to find, as it is generally not so well accepted by local people.

Topless beaches are commonplace on Guadeloupe, the rule rather than the exception. As for naturist beaches, I can't think of any except for on Terre de Haut (Les Saintes) where there is at least one.

Joelle

The "naturist" beach exists in Les Saintes but is not accepted by the muncipality. Therefore you may receive unexpected visit from the "gendarmes" checking the beach...

thanks for your reply; someone mentioned to me that they thought the beach at the Club Med was available for naturists, which I thought was a bit surprising.

Once upon a time, La Caravelle beach at Club Med had a clothing optional section. No longer the case.

I was recently (Feb) at Caravelle (Club Med) Beach in guadeloupe - many topless but I saw no one completely undressed.
