Anse Takamaka Anse Takamaka is located in a completely isolated and private area with no houses around. The quiet beach, which is 700 steps long, has very fine sand and is sheltered by pines and Takamaka trees. Large granite rocks separate Anse Takamaka into small pocket beaches, adding even more privacy to it. The beach lies in the Curieuse Marine National Park and offers very good snorkelling. While laying on the beach one can enjoy the close view of Curieuse Island.
