Pointe d'Esny and Blue Bay

The southern harbours are renowned for their exceptional turquoise colour. One will find an array of varying shapes and textures of corals, especially in the coral garden at Blue Bay. This is a natural reserve that should not be missed. It is the only place on the island where one can admire living corals without having to dive. There are endless tour guides who propose outings aboard glass bottom boats and other small vessels. Should you wish to dive, you can do so, as all of the skippers have the required equipments. Do not forget to bring along a piece of bread in order to be able to attract hundreds of tropical fish.

Whilst Blue Bay is a popular spot amongst divers without breathing apparatus, la Pointe d'Esny is the best spot for windsurfers and kitesurfers. Swimming is allowed but one must be careful about the presence of coral and sea urchins.
As the beach spots are located just a few minutes from the SSR International airport, one can be disturbed by the sound of the airplanes.
