The Phare de l'îlet du Gosier, situated on a picturesque islet off Le Gosier, Guadeloupe, is primarily accessible via a short, inexpensive shuttle boat service from Datcha Beach, costing approximately €5-€10 for a round trip. This destination is ideal for solo or self-guided visits, allowing visitors to leisurely explore the islet's pristine beaches, enjoy snorkeling in its clear waters, and admire the historic 1894 lighthouse from the exterior, as the tower is generally not open for public ascent. A typical visit duration ranges from 2 to 4 hours, with the dry season (December to May) offering the most favorable weather for boat services and activities, though services may be affected or cancelled during the wet season due to adverse weather. Visitors are advised to bring sun protection and snorkeling gear; a small restaurant is often available on the islet for refreshments.
