Kuendu Beach
Plage de Kuendu
A quiet bay at the western tip of the Nouville Peninsula, with calm water good for swimming and snorkeling, and a popular picnic spot for local families on weekends.
Kuendu Beach sits at the western tip of the Nouville Peninsula. It is a small bay ringed by hills, far from the city’s bustle, and its water is much calmer than at Anse Vata, making it good for swimming, snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. Resort hotels and restaurants stand beside the sand. Local families often come for barbecues on weekends, while weekdays are very quiet. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the city center, and buses run infrequently, so drive or take a taxi. It can be combined with the Nouville penal prison site in the same afternoon, and you can watch the sunset from here in the evening.
