Anse l'Amour (Port Launay)

4° 39.0′ S · 55° 23.7′ E · approximate

A tiny reef-protected cove about 300 m along the coast from Port Launay, with calm shallow water, shade and views to Conception Island.

Practical

Seyvillas: good swimming and snorkelling behind the reef; the beach can disappear at high tide; the access road is a single narrow lane with no parking, so walk from Port Launay or land by dinghy from the Port Launay anchorage in calm conditions. Coordinate derived: about 300 m north of Port Launay beach along the OSM coastline, as Seyvillas describes; not mapped by name.

Best for

A secluded snorkel from the Port Launay anchorage
