After several days of rain, we awoke to a beautiful sunrise near Fifi beach on La Désirade. La Désirade is a little island in the Caribbean 10 miles away from ‘mainland’ Guadeloupe.

There are several beaches where fishermen leave their boats anchored near the shore or directly on the beach. Along with tourism, fishing is a mainstay of La Désirade.

However, not all the fishing is done using these small boats. Bigger vessels are tight up next door at Beausejour’s harbour.
