Travel Guide Tamarin

Although booming like the rest of the west coast, where more and more expatriates are choosing to settle, Tamarin remains a small town with character and a slightly sleepy, very surf-style atmosphere. Due to a huge pass through the coral reef, the waves here are more numerous than on the rest of the west coast. Although the rollers are not constant, they are definitely exceptional on the rare occasions of the year when they deign to form. And then, shhh! A truly beautiful spot for the purists of the discipline! The rest of the time, it's a beautiful arched beach, different from the others but just as beautiful in its mangrove setting at the mouth of the rivers. The Rempart mountain rises in the background. At its foot, the bay, not very touristy on the sandy side, fills up with boats on the sea side for its resident dolphin group. The village is also renowned for its important saltworks, which are well worth a visit before this heritage is wiped out in favor of real estate projects.
