Fodor's Expert Review Plage de Petite Anse

This long, golden beach is punctuated by seagrape trees. It's idyllic during the week, but on weekends the crowds of locals and “urban refugees” from the main island arrive. Le Touloulou's great creole seafood restaurant provides the only facilities. The golden sands are ideal for shelling. Amenities: food and drink; parking (no fee); toilets. Best for: partiers; snorkeling; sunset; swimming; walking.
