Travel Guide Île De La Gonâve

Located in front of the popular Côte des Arcadins, the island of Gonâve bathes in the Gulf of the same name. Aride and mountainous, it is still virgin of any tourist infrastructure, offering its desert landscapes and its beautiful beaches. But lately, some buildings have been going on here and there. Its inhabitants, trapped on this island of 60 km out of 15, live in fishing and agriculture. Great like Martinique, the island has just about fifty cars… and still lives away from the rest of the country. Nothing has really changed since Lieutenant Faustin Wirkus's departure, an American officer who, in the 1920 s, fought for her. Adopted by the population, his authority was accepted by congos companies (workers' associations) who made their head (king). He used it to carry out his projects.
