Petite Anse - North Island Photo by Dana Allen Petite Anse is located on the southeast of North Island, not far away from the only resort on the island. Many years ago a path was cleared through the corals, allowing boats easy access to the island. Petite Anse lays in a very small bay and is framed by large granite rocks. Beach Morning Glories snake along the beach towards the ocean. This is the preferred beach for windsurfing and snorkelling. The helicopter landing area is situated in front of Petite Anse.
