A coastal nature reserve at the southeastern tip of Grande-Terre. A hiking trail passes through dry forest and white-sand bays, with views of the white sandbar offshore.
Pointe Saziley is a coastal nature reserve at the southeastern tip of Grande-Terre, managed by the Conservatoire du Littoral. The coastal hiking route starts near Mroni or Pazi and passes baobab trees, dry forest and several secluded white-sand bays before reaching the headland. From there you can look out over the white sandbar and the barrier reef offshore, and sea turtles are often spotted in the bay. The round trip takes about 3 to 4 hours, and there is almost no shade along the way, so bring plenty of water and sun protection. The beach is a nesting ground for sea turtles at night, so do not disturb them.
