What sets it apart

Anse la Raie is one of the five public beaches covered, on busy public holidays, by the duty ambulance stationed at Pereybère, along with La Cuvette, Bain Boeuf, Mare la Raie and Butte à l’Herbe. Anse la Raie and Mare la Raie are indeed two separate beaches, however alike the names.

The mood

At 0.6 hectare and 110 metres of shoreline, this is a small beach by north coast standards.

Highlights

  • 0.6 hectare and some 110 metres of shoreline
  • A public beach since 1991
  • One of the five beaches covered from Pereybère on public holidays
  • Not to be confused with Mare la Raie, another northern beach

Good to know

  • Mind the name: Anse la Raie and Mare la Raie are two different beaches.
  • No emergency post is stationed here on public holidays: the base is Pereybère.

Getting there

The beach lies on the north coast, in the Rivière du Rempart district, between Cap Malheureux to the west and Butte à l’Herbe, in Calodyne, to the east. On public holidays the nearest emergency post is the Pereybère ambulance, attached to SSRN Hospital.
