Sentier des ilets du François

An exceptional site dedicated to exploring marine ecosystems.

This 800-meter underwater trail offers an educational experience marked by informational buoys that guide swimmers through various underwater habitats.
Six numbered white buoys mark the route, each focusing on a specific theme (sand, seagrass beds, artificial reef, coral reef, coral reef fish, and other reef inhabitants), along with 16 yellow buoys for safety.
Practical information:
This trail begins at Ilet Thierry Beach. It is recommended that you bring fins, a mask, and a snorkel, as well as a buoy or a life jacket.
Warning:
Access is prohibited for children not accompanied by an adult.
Swimming is unsupervised; it is not recommended to swim alone, and you should ensure that everyone is physically fit and technically capable to avoid putting themselves in danger.
On the underwater trail, all forms of fishing are prohibited, as are the passage and anchoring of all vessels, motorized watercraft, and all water sports activities.
