Leeward coast
The leeward coast runs along the west of Basse-Terre, sheltered from the trade winds by the Soufrière volcanic mountain range. It stretches from Deshaies in the north to Basse-Terre in the south, passing through Pointe-Noire, Bouillante and Vieux-Habitants.
This is the coast where Tropical Vibes offers boat trips and boat hire, departing from Marina de Deshaies.
