La Crique Beach
La Crique
A small cove near the village of Loukintsy on the northwest coast, framed by coconut palms, giant granite boulders, and turquoise water. A postcard-perfect view.
La Crique lies in the village of Loukintsy on the northwest coast of Île Sainte-Marie. It is a small cove surrounded by granite boulders and coconut palms, with fine white sand and calm water. It is often ranked among the island's most beautiful beaches. Nearby are a few small beachfront guesthouses and restaurants, and visitors can swim, snorkel, and watch the sunset here. It is about a 40-minute motorbike ride from the capital along the western coastal road, making it a good stop on a northbound tour of the island.
