MARATHON WATERFALLS
Read moreThese falls are perhaps the most beautiful on the island. To go by car, a 4 x 4 is strongly recommended (counting a good time). In the village of Camp-Perrin, take the beautiful paved road towards Jeremiah. At the exit of High Camp, take 1,5 km and turn right at the Church of God (located on the left) towards St Mathurine. Then take the narrow land road that descends to the waterfall. It is located on the left, opposite the power station. Park your car between two major portals: one opens towards the waterfall, down, the other towards the powerhouse. In both cases, a guard will open you and accompany you. Ask children if needed. To access and enjoy the waterfall that is maintained by the villagers, who organise parties and gatherings, you will be asked for a minimal entrance fee. You can even leave a little more.
The place is magical and refreshing. The waterfall is dried around February. But bathing is still pleasant.
CAYEMITE ISLANDS
Read moreBy boat, you can go to the Source-Salée beach, close to the port, to Coral (about 25 minutes) and especially to the Cayemites Islands. La Petite-Cayemite, which is not inhabited, is 45 minutes by motor canoe (200 GD) and its beach of Anse-Blanche is worth the crossing. Anse-du-Nord, at Grande-Cayemite, is available in about 30 minutes.
RAYMOND-LES-BAINS BEACH
Read moreOn the road to Marigot, just before Cayes Jacmel, the Raymond-les-Bains beach welcomes many locals and tourists. Reputed safe and close to Jacmel, it is very popular, especially on weekends. Surfers love its turbulent waters.
GROTTO MARIE-JEANNE
Read moreThanks to the premises, this cave is now well placed and is guided by a guide. Explored about 4 km deep, you only visit 2 km. It is the largest in the Caribbean. Front lamps are necessary because the black is sometimes total. They are gremlin in the room, each with its own peculiarities. One of them has a voûte voûte of mini-craters, which we do not explain the training… the cathedral is impressive. Provide good footwear, some areas are slippery and access to the cave is done through a steep land path. Hat and water are also essential. The visit takes about 1 hour.
At the foot of the hill, where the cave is located, we sail in front of a huge white building of recent construction: it is the Basic School of Implementation Centre for pedagogical support (EFACAP), a very positive initiative of the Haitian public education sector to ensure access to education.
PICHON CASCADE
Read moreIn addition to the magic beach of Marin Blue and its corals (provide a mask), a majestic and green waterfall is within walking distance of the village: the floors in floors with ice and ice water will even delight the cautious… A guide is essential, counting from 200 to 300 GD for its presence for half a day. For those who do not want to pay, children will be happy to accompany you against a small gift.
MACAYA PIC
Read moreThe Macaya peak reaches 2 347 m above sea level and its park is one of the last virgin forests on the island. The climb of the Pic is quite delicate, providing for a guide (get to Jérémie or Camp Perrin), good equipment and supplies of water and food. For the night, it is possible to gently camp on the Front of the Plaine Durand. Jean Gustave Dunès will be able to inform you about the hikes.
ST-GEORGES BEACH
Read moreVery beautiful and long sandy beach, surrounded by a huge palm grove. Children are still there and will be happy to climb to coconut trees to catch a nut and prepare it. The juice is very nourishing and the flesh translucent, nothing to see with the same fruit when they arrive in France! Beware the sun strong on the white sand, fortunately there is a lot of shade under the trees and bushes. And even for cars!
MAPOU BASIN
Read moreA refreshing waterfall flows into a pretty basin. In a word, an ideal place to relax. Hikers will take about a-hour walk to reach the fall. 30 minutes by car.
COCONUT BEACH AND BANANA BEACH
Read moreSuperb sandy beaches accessible by boat. Find out about the port.
APRICOT BEACH
Read moreOne of the great properties of Apricots is its long sandy beach nestled in a paradise cove. The water is calm and hot. The vegetation of the village - where coconut and almond no longer count! - seems to stop in his race by the expanse of sand and the sea.
ISLETS OF THE HEDGE
Read moreOn Dame Marie Beach of the canoes will take you to the îlets of Lahaie, for a afternoon of bathing and rest.
HOT SPRINGS
Read moreIn the east of Anse-d'Hainault, a road that is more or less connected leads directly to natural hot springs, where it is possible to swim at certain times of the year.
JACMEL BEACH
Read moreAt Jacmel, the black sand beach extending from the wharf (wharf) to the mouth is not very attractive. Water purity is altered by the discharge of the sewers and, during the rainy season, by the mud that the river raises.
TIP LAGAN BEACH
Read moreOne of the main points of Belle-Anse is its beautiful beach of Lagan, almost deserted and wild, surrounded by palm trees. If you have your surfing board under your arm, this is the ideal spot!
SALTINE BEACH
Read moreThe Saltworks is located on the eastern coast of Jacmel Bay. You can go on foot or by car along the cemetery. It is a charming small little beach, if not by a handful of fishermen - the odd coloured boats present are witness to it - with little substance. Ideal for cooling and laisser children (with shoes, to avoid unfortunate encounters with sea urchins, especially near rocks). A small bar is open from time to time. In the summer, concerts are organised on this small shore. This is the closest beach to Jacmel's centre. The Cap Lamandou Hotel overlooks the hotel.
BRITISH ISLES
Read moreOn this island, there are vestiges of English ships and ruins of Catholic churches dating back more than three centuries.
OYSTER BAY
Read moreBy boat, we reach this beautiful bay from the port of Belle-Anse. The excursion is worth it, the place is magical.
