Beach: Public beach in two sections, 6.7 hectares and some 650 metres of shoreline: Bel Ombre, 6.5 hectares and 579 metres, since 2004; Pas Géométriques of Bel Ombre, 0.1 hectare and 73 metres, since 2013

What sets it apart

Bel Ombre is the first of the seven public beaches covered, on busy public holidays, by the south-west patrol ambulance based at Saint-Félix, along with Saint-Félix, Sainte-Marie, Rivière des Galets, La Prairie, La Preneuse and Baie du Cap.

The mood

The two sections are very unequal in size: the main one is almost fifty times the area of the second, 0.1 hectare of Pas Géométriques added nine years later.
