Guadeloupe consists of two islands, together shaped like a butterfly. Grande-Terre in the east is flat, with white-sand beaches, and resorts. Basse-Terre on the west is an active volcano – lush, mountainous and less populated. A turn off the road round Basse-Terre in the commune of Deshaies brings you to Plage de la Perle, an arc of golden sand. It is more intimate and laid back than its better-known neighbour Plage de Grande Anse. It is never busy, although it is a favourite with the locals at the weekend. Uprooted palm trees, driftwood and coral left behind by the surf make it feel like a& castaway beach but there are a couple of beach bars under the palm trees.
