Poste Lafayette is a wilder, less developed stretch of coast favoured by windsurfers and kitesurfers.
Strong trade winds and open water make it more suited to experienced watersport enthusiasts than casual swimmers.
The rugged shoreline offers a rawer, more natural contrast to the manicured resort beaches nearby.
It’s a good stop for those wanting fewer crowds and dramatic wave-battered scenery.
