A trail leads through the dense tropical forest from Anse Victorin to Grand
Anse. Towards the end of the trail, a giant granite plateau appears
in front of the ocean where high energy waves break with powerful force.
The 900 step long Grand Anse is partly covered by coral stone formations,
which may make swimming difficult at low tide. At high tide this beach
offers fantastic snorkelling. From May to October sand
covers the rocks and coral formations, making Grand Anse the longest
sand beach of the island. Violet blooming Beach Morning Glories and green
Vouloutye bushes grow along the shore. A small sheltered seating area with an ice-box
filled with chilled drinks and two hammocks shaded by palmtrees can be found
directly behind the beach. Nearby is also a small road, providing access
to the beach by golf-buggy or bicycle. Beware of giant land tortoises
crossing the path.
