Baie Rouge
A pinkish-gold sand beach on the southwest coast of the French side, with crystal-clear water. At its east end, you can swim into a natural stone arch to snorkel and see fish.
Baie Rouge lies in the Terres Basses (Lowlands) area on the French side. It takes its name from its faintly pink sand and is one of the island's most highly rated beaches. The water is crystal clear, and at the east end, a natural stone arch in the rocks can be swum through, which is great for snorkelling. There is a simple beach bar, and chairs can be rented. The beach is surrounded by high-end villas, so it is quiet and uncrowded. Take care when waves are big. Entry is free.
