Things to see and do Terres Basses

Baie-aux-Prunes beach is located in the Terres-Basses area, west of the island. It is accessible by the private road crossing private properties. Access to the beach is via a sand path, screened on both sides to limit motorized access. Between the Pointe du Canonnier and the cliff with the Birds. Little frequented because it is not well known. In swell weather, it attracts surfers. The exposure to the west of this beach allows maximum sunbathing.

Named for the slight coloration of its sand, which takes on a fiery hue at sunset. It's certainly one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Lined with the beautiful, sumptuous villas of Terres-Basses, its long arc offers the utmost tranquillity. To the east, it hides an adorable little cove accessible to good swimmers, and a little further on, the Trou de David. But be warned, it can be dangerous to swim in due to its strong rollers. But it can be as calm as a lake.

A long, very long beach (one of the largest on the island), with turquoise waters, where lovers of solitary walks will find their pleasure. It starts from the cliff where La Samanna is nestled and goes all the way to the Pointe du Canonnier. It is close to Baie-aux-Prunes. You have to admire the sunset from the bar of La Samanna's restaurant. If you feel like exploring the seabed, you can dive near the wreck of the Gregory II. Very natural, with very few visitors, this is the almost deserted beach as you might imagine.
