🇺🇸 Natural Pools of Petit Cul-de-Sac

Nestled between rocks at the ocean’s edge, these natural tide pools offer a wild and beautiful spot to swim in crystal-clear water. But extreme caution is needed — the hike is steep and the sea conditions can change quickly. Never go if the sea is rough or during high tide, as waves can crash violently over the rocks. For safety, it’s strongly recommended to go with a local guide who knows the area and the ocean. What looks like paradise can turn dangerous in seconds.

Please note that this hike is very dangerous and we strongly recommend that you be accompanied by our partner guide Carole Pernelle: +590690652651

🇫🇷 Piscines naturelles de Petit Cul-de-Sac

Nichées entre les rochers et l’océan, ces piscines naturelles offrent un décor spectaculaire pour une baignade sauvage. Mais attention : l’accès est raide, le terrain glissant, et la mer peut devenir dangereuse très rapidement. Il ne faut jamais y aller par mer agitée ou à marée haute — les vagues peuvent déferler brutalement sur les rochers. Pour votre sécurité, il est vivement conseillé de faire appel à un guide local qui connaît bien le site et les conditions. Ce lieu magnifique peut devenir risqué en quelques secondes.

Attention cette randonnée est très dangereuse nous vous conseillons fortement d'être accompagné de notre guide partenaire Carole Pernelle : +590690652651
