Bassin Carrosse is a quiet, lesser-known pool fed by a cascade in the hills of Sainte-Suzanne, surrounded by sugarcane and banana fields with barely any signage or people. The setting is peaceful and clean, making it a good quick stop for a dip or a photo if you’re driving through the east.

What to expect:

• Small trail access from a dirt road. Flat but may be slippery after rain

• A round, calm basin with a short waterfall at the far end

• Possible swim spot, but no lifeguards or facilities

• Natural shade, birdsong, and space to sit on dry rocks

• No vendors, no trash bins. Pack in and out

It’s not dramatic like Takamaka or Grand Galet, but it’s atmospheric. Locals use it as a calm alternative to the better-known sites.

👉 Avoid after heavy rain. The access road floods, and the water can rise quickly. Weekdays are best for peace and quiet.
