Baie des Cochons sector: avoid for families and quiet relaxation
Located at the eastern end of the naturist beach, the famous Baie des Cochons is the premier spot for outdoor eroticism and libertine encounters. In summer, especially after 3 PM, the vibe is intensely voyeuristic and exhibitionist. Strictly avoid if you are modest, with family or seeking quiet peace.
