点评:This was our family's favorite beach on the east side of the island. It a shallow bay (so good for small children) with nice sand and some trees/shrubs to provide shade - located at the N side of the bay (Baie de L'Embouchure).
This quiet beach stands in stark contrast to the more famous Orient Beach, just around the corner to the North. That beach is backed by development and covered in beach chairs and umbrellas. If you are looking for a more peaceful, undeveloped beach near Orient Beach, this is the answer.
When we were there, in March, there was some wind and a lot of kite surfing activity in the bay. We heard that there was decent snorkeling along the bay - but not while it was windy (worse visibility) and while peopler were kite surfing (risk of getting run over).
The road to the beach (branching off the main road, just north of Amuseum) has several "inverse" speed bumps - concave dips in the road. It is easy to bottom out on these - but seemed fine in our regular clearance car when going over them very slowly. There is ample, free parking in (unimproved) parking areas around the beach.
Our family visited about 20 of the island's beaches - and this was one of our favorite on the east side.
翻译:这是我们一家在岛东侧最喜欢的沙滩。这是一个浅水湾(非常适合小孩子),沙质细腻,还有一些树木和灌木提供阴凉——位于海湾(Baie de L'Embouchure)的北侧。
这片宁静的沙滩与北边拐角处更为著名的东方海滩(Orient Beach)形成了鲜明的对比。东方海滩后方已被开发,到处都是沙滩椅和遮阳伞。如果您想在东方海滩附近寻找一处更宁静、未开发的沙滩,那么这里就是您的理想之选。
我们三月份去的时候,海湾里风很大,有很多风筝冲浪者。我们听说海湾附近适合浮潜——但风大的时候(能见度差)以及有人玩风筝冲浪的时候(有被撞的风险)就不建议去了。
通往沙滩的路(从主路岔出,就在博物馆北边)有几个“反向”减速带——路面上的凹陷。这些路面很容易刮底,但我们开着底盘较高的普通轿车慢速驶过似乎没什么问题。海滩周围有充足的免费停车位(虽然停车场设施简陋)。
我们一家人游览了岛上大约20个海滩,这是我们在东侧最喜欢的海滩之一。
