pinel island

The Pinel Island is accessible by boat from Cul de Sac.

Shuttle schedules: every half hour from the very beginning of the morning, for example at 10 am, 10.30 am, 11 am, etc.

The last return takes place around 5 pm. The « crossing » of the shallow bay lasts less than 10 minutes in the middle of other small islets formed of rocks and inhabited only by birds.

Different restaurants with beach chairs share the main beach or a small pontoon for the arrival of visitors.

A walk in the Pinel islet is recommended: marked trails make it possible to tour the island with various magnificent views to Orient Bay, Tintamar or the hills of Anse Marcel.

A small beach in the north often desert allows to isolate far from the animation of the main beach of Pinel Island.
