Roches Noires, coves and black rock

Roches Noires, Rivière du Rempart · East

The name says it all: flows of black basalt dropping into a clear lagoon, broken up by small sandy beaches. It's a very quiet holiday-home area during the week, with casuarinas for shade and lava caves to explore along the shore. Perfect for a calm day away from the crowds.
