Kitebeach is about 400m east of Sainte-Anne. You can see the kites from the main road. Simply turn off into the entrance of the beach ground. There is shabby looking restaurant with a big yellow-red sign that you can see from the street as well. Follow the track for another 200m. Watch the potholes!
Not much in St.Anne. Ask the locals, they are friendly and might invite you to a party.
