Îlet Caret (Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin)

A small sand islet on the reef of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin lagoon, off Sainte-Rose. You reach it by boat. Coral heads sit close to the beach, so scout the reef first. It gets busy with day-trip boats at weekends and in school holidays.

Remote spot: not recommended for beginners or intermediates.Help is far away if something goes wrong. Only ride here if you're experienced and self-sufficient: go with a buddy, arrange boat support, and tell someone your plan.
