Palmar, the see-through lagoon

Palmar, Flacq · East

Next door to Belle Mare but noticeably quieter, Palmar's public beach offers the same white sand and shallow lagoon with fewer people on weekdays. The casuarinas come almost down to the water, so you can settle in the shade and still keep the kids in sight in the lagoon.
