Long black-sand beach facing the iconic Rocher du Diamant (Diamond Rock). Shoot wide coastal panoramas, intimate foregrounds of driftwood and volcanic sand, and telephoto silhouettes of the rock at sunrise or sunset. Easy roadside access and free parking; no entry fee. Mornings are calmer and less windy; afternoons can be breezy with stronger surf. Respect local signage — currents are strong. Visit weekdays for fewer tourists; bring sun and wind protection.
