This beautiful stretch of white sand extends for 2km to the west of Le Diamant. Swimming is not recommended, as the waves can be very strong, but it's a picture-perfect place for sunbathing, beachcombing, picnicking in the shade of the trees or simply enjoying the view of the nearby Rocher du Diamant.
