For example, it takes about one hour to reach the extreme northern tip of Grande-Terre with Pointe-de-la-Vigie from Sainte-Anne or Saint-François.

And if you rent a villa near Saint-François, it'll take about 90 minutes to arrive at Malendure Beach in Bouillante on the Route de la Traversée close to Parc des Mamelles.

If you really don't want to rent a car, make a stay in Saint-François your first choice as you'll be close to everything there, including the marina and shops. You'll be able to walk to the Beach of Raisins Clairs or the Port of Saint-François to buy fresh fish. If you choose Basse-Terre, it'll take at least two hours to go from Deshaies to Volcan de la Soufrière for example.
