The beach is a beautiful and natural wonder, boasting clean and serene waves that are perfect for family activities. It is a great place to have picnics and barbecues, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The beach is also relatively quiet, making it an ideal spot for tourists looking to escape the crowds. Swimming and other activities are readily available, and the beach is considered safe for nighttime visits with friends. During the day, the beach offers breathtaking views, and there are plenty of lush greenery spots to explore, setting it apart from other beaches in the area.

With a magnificent view of Le Morne mountain towering above and an abundance of vibrant coral and sea life below, this beach is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular in the world.

8 Very good

The beach is a breathtaking sight with its pristine white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and a stunning view of Le Morne. It's a popular spot for locals to gather and enjoy a picnic, particularly on weekends. However, it's worth noting that there are no beach amenities available, and the beach is also home to a water airplane operator. Depending on your personal preferences, the sound of the planes taking off may either be a nuisance or a source of excitement for aviation enthusiasts.

Ah, the beach. A picturesque paradise with crystal clear waters and a lack of human congestion. However, my personal experience was less than ideal. In my haste to capture the perfect photo, I carelessly left my belongings on the sand. Alas, they were nowhere to be found upon my return. Lesson learned: always keep a watchful eye on your possessions, even in the most idyllic of settings.

This beach is a great spot to catch the sunset and have a picnic. It's peaceful, but unfortunately, there are no public restrooms or showers available. Although there are buses that pass by, they don't come around very often.
