Sand & Swimming at Souffleur Beach

As you can see in the pictures below the beach is very long with beautiful white sand and turquoise water (even if because of the clouds, it is not as bright as it could be here). The water is warm and the quiet, very enjoyable for swimming. I did not go snorkelling but the reviews indicate many spots where you can see plenty of fishes.

The Waves at Souffleur beach

The weather was not all beautiful on that day so there were some very small waves. I really enjoyed them as they were making interesting shapes when reaching the sand.
