Except for the bar and a shower there is no other infrastructure. There are a few visitors. Here prefer to relax wildlife lovers and surfers. The entrance to the water is gentle, the bottom is sandy and rocky, but only few people dare to swim. Almost all year round the waves here are very high. For holiday with children it's better to find another beach. It's dangerous to enter the water. Anse Intendance is a perfect place for surfing. Necessary equipment should be taken with because on the beach there are no rental agencies.

People can get there by bus, but public transport on the island is not the best way of traveling. Buses run rarely and irregularly. It's better to go by rented car using GPS. There is parking near the beach.
