4° 28.7′ S · 55° 15.2′ E · approximate

Practical
Coordinate approx: GeoNames gives the cove ('Anse Lascar') at 4°29'S 55°15'E; pin set on the east coast just north of La Passe. French Wikipedia lists Anse Cimetière, Anse Lascar I and II and Anse Patates as east-coast bays reached by trail from La Passe. A cruising account notes 5-15 m in sand off the Anse Lascars/Anse Mondon shore with SE-trade protection. The ICS team runs a monthly 7am beach clean-up on Anse Patates and Anse Lascar (National Geographic).
