Cascade Niagara
A broad waterfall in Sainte-Suzanne in the northeast, dropping about 30 metres down a basalt cliff. You can park right beside it, making it an easy detour.
Niagara Falls lies on the outskirts of Sainte-Suzanne. It borrows its name from the great falls of North America. It is much smaller but quite lovely: a broad curtain of water drops about 30 metres from a black basalt wall into a pool, surrounded by sugarcane fields and tropical plants. The car park is a two-minute walk away. Visitors can swim in the pool at the base, picnic on the grass beside it, and climb the cliff walls on marked routes. Entry is free. It is about a 20-minute drive from Saint-Denis airport, making it a convenient stop on arrival or on the day you leave the island. During the rainy season, water runs fast after heavy rain, so stay away from the base of the falls.
