The island's only official nude beach is at the dramatically landscaped Pointe Tarare, a 45-minute drive from Gosier. Rugged cliffs topped by a huge crucifix gaze over this tranquil and untouched beach, which can get crowded in the afternoons. There's no shade or facilities, save for a restaurant by the car park at the beginning of the path leading down to the beach. The beach is long and narrow and experiencing some erosion, but on the whole it's one of the best nude beaches in the Caribbean and popular with French tourists. Snorkeling is good here when the water is calm, with coral reefs just offshore teeming with fish. Keep an eye out for the little signs off the highway to the beach, they are easy to miss.
