BUGGYLa Désirade with family: our tips
A calm, welcoming island, ideal for a family trip away from the tourist rush.
La Désirade is a particularly family-friendly destination: little traffic, a peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful beaches with calm waters. Here are our tips for a successful trip with children.
Calm, safe beaches
Plage du Souffleur, with its sheltered, shallow waters near the shore, is particularly well-suited for swimming with young children, shaded by palm trees.
The buggy: an adventure loved by young and old alike
Our 2-3 seat buggies let you safely bring a child on board, for a ride that delights parents and little ones alike — a chance to share a fun family moment, far from the classic air-conditioned car tour.
A pace that suits your family
Unlike an organised excursion with fixed schedules, self-drive rental lets you adapt your day to your children's pace — more frequent breaks, a nap in the shade, extended swim time, with no group constraints.
A few practical tips
- Bring hats, sunscreen and plenty of water — the Caribbean sun is intense
- Young children must be accompanied by an adult on board — the driver must hold a valid driving licence
- Plan some downtime around midday to avoid the hottest hours
