SANDY BEACH

It can be reached by boat or on foot, following the coastline through the vegetation. Little frequented, it boasts a fine sandy beach dotted with coconut palms and equipped with carbets with tables and benches. Many starfish can be seen here. The only drawback is the yen-yen (tiny mosquitoes that inflict nasty bites, causing itching and pimples, especially as they can sneak under clothing): avoid staying on the beach in the late afternoon (sometimes as early as 3.30-4 p.m.) or early morning, and bring a repellent with you.
