Anse Canot is a popular beach on the north-west coast near Saint-Louis, wider and more accessible than Anse de la Feuillère, with a small beach bar that operates on weekends. It fills up with Guadeloupean families over Easter and in July and August — at other times it is quiet. The sea floor here is sandy and shallow for a good distance out, making it one of the best swimming beaches on the island for children.
