Lots of restaurants across the road from the beach, typical beach stores, lunch vans set up in the parking lot to sell ice cream, sandwiches, rum punch, etc. It seems like everybody uses this beach - it is not a secluded, isolated beach. The advantages include phenomenally easy access - it is possible to use a wheelchair directly from the parking lot on the beach. There is a small security charge to use the beach and guards patrol routinely. At the western end of the beach is a small market with bulk spices, madras plaid creole dolls, madras clothes, beach towels, flavored rums, cheap tee shirts, etc.
Vendors stroll the beach selling clothes, swimsuits, coffee, doughnuts, ice cream, sandwiches.
You could quite literally lay on the beach all day and have all your needs attended to without leaving the beach. Hedonism at its best. We have photographs of this beach at our Beach Photos, Page 3 . St-Francois has a small beach just west of town. We have only driven by at sunset.
