There are multiple small beaches in the vicinity, and it takes approximately five minutes to reach the Etang beach on foot. The beach is limited by rocks and tends to get crowded during the summer season. However, the view from above upon arrival is stunning, provided the sky is clear. During the months of July and August, the beach is conveniently accessible via the circuit B beach bus.

This beach is a fantastic spot for swimming, sunbathing, and unwinding to the soothing sound of the ocean. It's particularly enjoyable when there aren't many people around, although that's more likely to happen when the weather isn't great. I highly recommend checking it out, especially during July and August when there's a baywatch team on duty.

I used to frequent this beach a lot as a child, and it holds a lot of sentimental value for me. It's great to be able to share this experience with my own children now.
