This hike is possible without a guide, starting from Grand Anse, at the end of the beach on the right. It takes about an hour to get there. The trail markings aren't obvious, but with the help of Maps.Me, you'll find it without any problems. The beach is magnificent.

Very nice, secluded beach. However, be mindful that the trekking tour you can book in order to get there is quite challenging, and definitely for fit(ter) people. Could be challenging for people with a slight fear of hights and definitely unsuitable for children. Make sure to always get a guide as otherwise you're risking getting lost. On the way back, the path is much easier and it's rather a walk in a forest with a few ups and downs.
