Flic en Flac is a lively west-coast beach known for calm waters and spectacular sunsets.
Its public stretch is popular with both locals and tourists, dotted with casuarina trees for shade.
Just offshore, coral reefs make it a well-known base for scuba diving excursions.
Restaurants and beach bars line the road behind the sand, busiest in the late afternoon.
