Pointe Aux Piments Beach II

10 NICO A. J. SANCHEZ

This serene and magnificent beach is a true gem. Although swimming is prohibited due to the rocky terrain and strong water currents, the stunning views and tranquil atmosphere make it a must-visit destination. The peacefulness of this beach is unparalleled, offering a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So, if you're looking for a place to unwind and reconnect with nature, this beach is the perfect spot for you.

The Point Beach

This place is stunning.

Pointe Aux Biches

4 Lysandra Everhart

The beachfront property is a bit run down. The rooms are nice, but the kitchen needs an update. The refrigerator was not working properly, the cooking equipment was broken, and there was no water boiler. The air conditioning is also broken and very noisy, making it difficult to use at night. The sofas and pillows were dirty, both indoors and outdoors. The customer service was very poor, as the main contact person, Wendy, had difficulty understanding English and did not make an effort to help customers. There is no reception, so all you can do is wait for a reply. The view is great, but the beach is not suitable for swimming. Overall, it is best to stay somewhere else. We will not be returning to Bon Azur Beachfront.

Prison Beach

10 Kyomi Lee

While swimming may not be an option, this beach is an ideal spot for a delightful picnic. You can indulge in some scrumptious treats while enjoying the serene surroundings. Moreover, there are toilets available for your convenience.
