Gelee Beach, near Les Cayes, is one of Haiti’s most pop­u­lar beach­es for a rea­son. Locals come here for excur­sions, and it is a great place for vis­i­tors to soak up nature and the live­ly atmos­phere of Haiti.
Gelee is a gor­geous beach with access to the stun­ning ocean, but that is true for most of Haiti’s beach­es. What sets Gelee apart is the live­li­ness of the area. The beach is home to many restau­rants that offer local­ly caught seafood and tra­di­tion­al Hait­ian cui­sine.
Don’t for­get to try fritay, the tra­di­tion­al Hait­ian fried plat­ters of food. At night, the beach turns into an open-air music fes­ti­val, par­tic­u­lar­ly in August around the fes­ti­val of the Lady of the Assump­tion, the area’s patron saint.
