Un spot idéal pour pratiquer le yoga et contempler l'environnement, la faune et la flore présentes sur place rendent l'endroit vivant et ressourçant. Entre mangrove et campagne le lieu est une ouverture sur le grand cul de sac marin reliant le nord Basse Terre au nord Grande Terre. Réputée pour les bains de boue thérapeutiques ( argile noire marine ) dont les locaux se badigeonnent régulièrement en famille, la plage de Babin reste malgré tout peu fréquentée ce qui lui confère cette authenticité très appréciée. Une expérience inédite à vivre en famille ou entres amis.
