Saint François Beach
Plage de Saint François
A long sandy beach at the northern end of the east coast trail, with calm lagoon waters and a starting point for the coastal walk to Trou d'Argent.
Plage de Saint François lies in the northeast of the island. The lagoon here is shallow and calm, which makes it good for swimming. It marks the northern start of the east coast trail, and walking south along the cliffs takes you past Baie Bouteille to Trou d'Argent and Graviers. Nearby small restaurants serve Creole seafood. It is about a 30-minute bus ride or drive from Port Mathurin.
