The blue eye

The blue eye, on the Cap Ferré peninsula: On the same trail, the Trace des Caps, discover this natural pool formed between the rocks on the small Cap Ferré peninsula. Punctuate your walk on the trail with a pleasant and quiet swim in this small pool. Once again, you will be amazed by the transparency and brightness of the water. However, beware of the sea urchins that line the bottom and be very attentive to the rise of the tide that can surprise many.

Anse Couleuvre

If you are looking for a beach with black sand and where you can observe the coral reefs, this is the one! Anse Couleuvre is the most northern of the island and the beach is one of the wildest.
