Afternoon: Hidden Waterfalls & Dramatic Cliffs
- Riviรจre des Galets Beach: Quite unlike the sandy north, this beach is famous for its unique shoreline polished smooth by thousands of sea-worn pebbles and crashing waves.
- Rochester Falls: Head inland through lush sugar cane fields to discover this hidden jungle waterfall. Famous for its unique, rectangular basalt rock columns, it is a magnificent spot to watch daring locals cliff-dive into the fresh pool below.
- Gris Gris & La Roche qui Pleure (The Crying Rock): Conclude your day at the southernmost tip of the island. Here, the protective coral reef breaks, allowing massive Indian Ocean waves to crash directly against the dark volcanic cliffs. Watch La Roche qui Pleure, where the constant spray of retreating waves creates the haunting illusion of a cliffside crying into the sea.
