Pereybère Public Beach

What sets it apart

Everything lies in the contrast between its size and its role. With 108 metres of shoreline, Pereybère is one of the shortest beaches in the north; yet it is the one the public services use as their base. On busy public holidays a duty ambulance attached to SSRN Hospital is stationed here and also covers La Cuvette, Bain Boeuf, Anse la Raie, Mare la Raie and Butte à l’Herbe.

The mood

The beach houses a public beach service office, as do Flic en Flac, Saint-Félix and Belle Mare. Its 108 metres of shoreline, for 1.8 hectares, make for a beach that is deep rather than long.

Highlights

• 1.8 hectares for just 108 metres of shoreline
• A public beach since 1991
• Public beach service office on site
• Duty ambulance for the north on public holidays, attached to SSRN Hospital
• Base for La Cuvette, Bain Boeuf, Anse la Raie, Mare la Raie and Butte à l’Herbe
• One of the island’s heavily used beaches

Good to know

• This is the emergency point for the north on public holidays: should the need arise on a neighbouring beach, this is where to go or to call.
• The beach is short, 108 metres of shoreline, and heavily used: expect crowds on busy days.
• The beach service office is on site; it does close exceptionally at times.

Getting there

The beach lies on the north coast, in the Rivière du Rempart district, between La Cuvette to the south-west and Bain Boeuf to the north. On busy public holidays this is where the duty ambulance for the north is stationed, and from here that five other public beaches are covered.
