La Preneuse, below the Martello Tower
La Preneuse, Rivière Noire · West
A family public beach at the foot of the Martello Tower, with Le Morne mountain as a backdrop and a very calm lagoon. Less spectacular than Flic en Flac but far quieter, with casuarinas, tables and a real neighbourhood feel at weekends.
