Cote Dor/Anse Volbert

Anse Volbert is a 3 km long beach which is perfect for a beach walk, as long as there is low tide, with high tide the water can cover almost the whole beach.

The sea is shallow with very small to no waves, but be careful as there can be sandcoloured rays sleeping in the sand, so watch where you put your feet.

Anse Volbert is a great location for boat excursions, such as Curieuse or Cousin Island (attention not every provider you meet on the beach is serious or got a license, dont give a deposit on the beach)

The are several Shops, Supermarkets, Restraurants and Boutiques close by. Also a bank and moneychanger and atm.

This beach is famous for sandflies, unfortunately there is not much you can do to protect yourself against their bites.

If you feel them biting you, best solution is to look for another spot to go. you can treat the bites with Calaminde or Caladryl Lotion (available in the pharmacy or some souvenir shops)
