Grande Anse
Grande-Anse is a small gorgeous white sand cove. The natives often come here to picnic and cook curries under the filaos and vacoas while contemplating the ocean.
However, swimming is prohibited. Due to strong currents and the presence of sharks the sea is quite dangerous. That is why a lake has been excavated to allow safe swimming among local fishes.
