Anse Noire
A small bay of black volcanic sand, separated from Anse Dufour by a single headland. It is surrounded by coconut palms and a wooden boardwalk, and its underwater reefs and fish make it good for snorkeling.
Anse Noire lies right next to Anse Dufour. From the parking area, a steep staircase leads down to the beach. Unlike the white sand found in the south, this beach has dark volcanic sand. It is surrounded by coconut palms and rainforest, and a small wooden boardwalk extends into the sea, creating a quiet and distinctive scene. The bay has reefs and coral, abundant fish, and occasional sea turtles, and tour boats often stop here for snorkeling. There is a small restaurant on the beach. It can be visited together with Anse Dufour: one bay is white and the other black, and they are only a few hundred meters apart.
