Lounge chairs for non-guests cost $12 to rent. Road to access beach was extremely bumpy and felt very unsafe - not recommended for anyone with a fear of heights or motion sickness.

We actually "viewed" it from the mountain drive, which was breathtaking, but did not go on the beach itself.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Snorkel after 3pm for no tourists/less of a crowd. Walk across the beach, up stairs, follow road around the mountain (10-15 minute walk) to get to an even quieter, beautiful beach with great snorkeling...Anse Mamin.
