The soft sand beach Anse Barbarons is about 1,400 steps long and lies in a
beautiful bay. Large granite rocks frame this beach at both ends. It is
sheltered by Takamaka trees, coconut palms and Vouloutye bushes. Occasional
coral stones are scattered along the beach due to the nearby
reef.
During the southeast monsoon from May to October strong currents can make
swimming dangerous. Flags at the hotel Le Méridien Barbarons at the north
end of this beach indicate the swimming conditions. Anse Barbarons is well
known for its excellent snorkelling in the vicinity of the hotel. Ile aux
Vachez and the green landscape of Mount Barbarons are within view of the
beach.

Watersport Centre Le Me'ridien Barbarons Windsurfing, waterskiing,
kayaking, jet ski and pedalos.
Diving (PADI), snorkelling and deep-sea fishing.
