Pointe d’Esny offers a calm, shallow lagoon just north of Blue Bay’s marine park.
Its quiet shoreline is lined with casuarinas and a scattering of guesthouses rather than large resorts.
The gentle waters make it a favourite for relaxed swimming away from crowds.
Ile aux Aigrettes is visible offshore, reachable by short boat trips from nearby jetties.
