A quirky roadside landmark — a polar bear statue beside the Chemin des Pirates near Belle Vue Sainte Marie — offers surreal, narrative-rich shots combining sculpture, coastal landscape and local folklore. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side-light and long shadows; weather is tropical so expect intermittent clouds and rain. Access via rough local roads (4x4 recommended); parking is informal on the roadside. No formal entry fees; be respectful of nearby homes and local customs. M
