Small cove of Petit Havre

This was my favorite beach of the trip! We found one of the coves of Petit Havre and walked down. Only one person was there and he left when we arrived. We had this beautiful quiet place just for ourselves. Many trees, calm waters and abondant shells to admire while listening to the water movements. It almost felt like we landed on an unhabited island. Very Robinson Crusoe!

    Arriving on Petit Havre by Taxi, which way do we go to get to that secluded bay you mentioned?

      If I remember correctly the main route goes down on the right towards the main beach and I took a turn left near the top to reach the other bay. I think the access in the trees was roughly at:
      16°12’37.7″N 61°25’18.9″W
      Have a great trip!
