Pointe au Sel is a rugged headland on the west coast known for its natural salt production and striking coastal views. The terrain is volcanic and uneven, shaped by centuries of wind and waves. The site’s main feature is the salt pans, still used today to harvest sea salt in small batches. In dry weather, you can see the crystallization happening right in the rock pools near the sea.

It’s also a peaceful place for a coastal walk. The reef opens up here, and the sound of the surf is constant. There’s a small interpretation area where you can learn about the salt trade and the geological features of the site. The place has a raw beauty, especially at low tide, when the formations are fully exposed.

👉 Stop by the nearby Salt Museum after your visit. It’s small, but it gives great context to what you’ve just seen on the coast.
