Aquin, A Beautiful Medium Sized Town In Haiti

Enjoyable Activities

It has some of the most amazing beaches and overlooks the Caribbean Sea. A lot of people come here to enjoy bathing in the sun and collect sea shells and coral reefs. The shells get deposited by the tide while it regresses towards the Caribbean Sea.

Saturday and Wednesday are market days when Aquin buzzes with activities. Wares are traded by people who come in large numbers to the market.

Lodging Facilities And Food

One of the best hotels here is Jardin Sur Mer. Some of the finest delicacies like grilled shrimps and home grown oysters are prepared tastefully and served here.

This place is indeed an exquisite one. Tourists and locals visit the hotels to enjoy great food sometimes served as buffets, and scenic settings naturally created by nature. Many of the hotels have an excellent view of the sandy beaches and the Caribbean Sea.

Transportation And Development

The National Route 2 passes through Aquin which makes the region easily accessible. National Route 2 heads towards Les Cayes and traverses through Port-au-Prince.

Aquin has been transformed by a non-profit institution called the Aquin Development Foundation. Children in the Brodeguin School are supported by this foundation. The foundation also supports the St.Thomas d'Aquin Parish and runs a campaign for afforestation. It is the intention of the foundation to put up a public library in modern style and accordingly it will be named as Bibliotheque de la villa d' Aquin.
