The best beaches of Reunion Island


Reunion Island It is a paradise in the middle of the Indian Ocean that belongs to France and has Paradise beaches surrounded by volcanic rocks and green hills. Thanks to its climate, it has developed a great diversity of flora and fauna, with a lot of tropical forests and a coast full of beautiful places that will make you live a wonderful experience.

It is an ideal place for surfing since its beaches are windy, and it also has a lively nightlife in the port area, where every Sunday there are concerts by very varied groups, many of them unknown but many others well known. In the Saint Gilles Les Rains area, in the northwest of the island, there are some of the best beaches, all of them with white sand and located in a privileged environment. Here I leave you both best beaches on Reunion island:

Boucan Canot Beach: It is a huge beach that is divided into two main parts. On the one hand, surf lovers, who find here one of the best beaches on the island to practice their favorite sport. On the other, people who want to relax taking a bath calmly and without much fuss around them. The swimming area is supervised by guards and the surfing area is not, although there are always monitors from several of the schools in the area. It must be said that the surf is very strong for bathers and that you have to be very careful so that it does not drag you. It has a spectacular coral reef.

L’Hermitage Beach: It connects through an imaginary line of sand with the beach of Trou d’eau, which makes it very large and you can find a quiet place more easily than in others. Its waves are not as strong so if you are not going to surf it is more recommended than that of Boucan Canot. Here you can also practice other water sports such as kayaking. The beach has a spectacular pine forest where you can have a picnic or rest in the shade. It is a very familiar beach.
