Trou aux Biches Beach is a charming ~1.5 miles long beach surrounded by casuarina trees, located on the northwest coast of the island, especially popular with families with children. The beach is protected from the ocean by a coral reef. On the beach you can make the most “Instagram” pictures, everything is perfect here - the water, and umbrellas of palm leaves, and white sand, in some places the width of the beach does not exceed 3-4 meters and palm trees with their spreading leaves overhanging directly above the water.

Despite the fact that there are many hotels and apartments along the beach, getting to it from the road is not a problem.
