3. Terre-de-Haut Island
Terre-de-Haut, eastern island of the Le Senta archipelago. Yachts and cruise ships are common on the island's harbor, and it oozes more European character than its western sibling. The terrain and climate on this island is of little use for sugarcane cultivation, which has affected the culture and history of Terre-de-Haut, the locals are mainly engaged in fishing and tourist services. The pastel colored houses and brightly colored fishing boats provide great opportunities for atmospheric photography.
The main settlement of the island is the small town of Bourg de Senta, next to a volcanic hill overlooking a curving blue bay bordered by white sand. The houses here have a distinct European character, with white walls, red tiled roofs and flower gardens. Located on a hill overlooking the 17th century bay, Fort Napoleon with its History Museum and Exotic Garden is one of Guadeloupe's main tourist attractions.
