Shallow lagoon near the shore, deep and exposed reef exit
Hazards : Very strong current in the reef passes (the only water exit); reef gradually becomes shallow; spot known for the presence of sharks — boat assistance strongly recommended
Quiet village on the south coast, between Souillac and Le Morne. The lagoon appears accessible, but a large left-hander breaks in the river mouth on south swells, reserved for experts. Safety conditions (currents, sharks) require real caution despite the apparent ease of the lagoon.
