Turtle Bay and Lover's BayBourail
In Bourail, to the north of the Roche Percée beach, the Baie des Tortues and the Baie des Amoureux have beaches that are often deserted. They can be admired from afar, from the Bonhomme of the Roche Percée. The leaning columnar pines that line the beaches give them a unique atmosphere. Having a picnic there is very enjoyable, as is dipping your toes in the water. A magnificent trail allows you to explore the bays, offering multiple viewpoints. It’s the 4-kilometer-long Trois Baies trail.
