The story

Montrouis Coastal Culture Festival in Montrouis

Montrouis, a beach town on the Cote des Arcadins only made a full commune in 2015, marks the feast of Saint-Jean-Baptiste with activities running from around June 20 to 26, organized by the municipal government to draw tourists to resorts including Wahoo Bay, Kaliko Beach and Moulin Sur Mer, near the restored 18th-century Ogier-Fombrun plantation museum.

Montrouis, a beach town on Haiti's Cote des Arcadins south of Saint-Marc, was only elevated to full commune status in August 2015, having previously been the fourth communal section of Arcahaie, and it received its own municipal administration in December 2017, making it one of Haiti's youngest civic entities even as its coastline has a much older history.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Montrouis's patronal festival unfolds against the backdrop of the Cotes-des-Arcadins, one of Haiti's longest white-sand coastlines and home to established beach resorts including Wahoo Bay, Kaliko Beach, Ouanga Bay and Moulin Sur Mer, giving this particular patronal feast a stronger beach-recreation character than most Haitian town festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

The area also holds a deeper colonial history than its youthful 2015 commune status suggests: the Habitation Guillaume-Ogier sugar plantation once stood nearby, abandoned after an uprising in 1799, and its restored grounds are now preserved as the Musee Ogier-Fombrun within the Moulin Sur Mer resort
