Practical

Snorkel from the boat or the beach off Anse José and around the granite headlands; SPGA calls Pointe Rouge the best dive site in the park (exact position not published — ask the rangers). Nothing may be taken: no fishing, spearguns or shell and coral collecting anywhere in the park. Stay clear of boat lanes in the channel. Coordinate approx: reef edge off Anse José from the park signboard map.
