Pointe Coton
A long white-sand beach with clear, shallow lagoon waters in the northeast corner, among the best beaches on the island for swimming.
Pointe Coton is on the northeastern corner of the island. Beyond the long white-sand beach lies a shallow lagoon with clear, calm water, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Holiday hotels are nearby. Along the shore beside the beach, you can see coastal plants as well as basalt and calcareous sandstone rocks. It can be a continuation of the east coast hike, a roughly 40-minute walk to Saint François.
