Travelers often have different opinions on what makes the perfect beach, and Plage De Cluny is comfortably on the middle ground—it isn’t entirely secluded, but it also isn’t a loud beach overrun with tourists. If you are looking for a beach that straddles the lines between these two extremes, Plage De Cluny should be at the top of your list. Bathing suits are optional on this beach, so be aware that you may encounter some nude sunbathers. If you’re traveling with children and might find this offensive, it’s best to stick to other beach options during your Guadeloupe vacation.
