The ferry departure process at this beach is quite inefficient and time-consuming. Booking requires knowledge of French and involves a lengthy and outdated procedure with multiple steps and paperwork. It takes about 4 hours to board the ferry, when it should only take 10 minutes. The pier has deteriorated, so makeshift boats are used to transport passengers to the ferry. Reservations must be made in advance, as same-day bookings are not allowed. Overall, it is recommended to avoid this island and opt for a different port for ferry services, as the standards are even worse there.
