The Nera River waves are popular with surfers. This picture is of the "Bonhomme de la Roche Percee" located at the mouth of the river.
The sentier des trois baies (three bays walking track) also starts from the La Roche Percée beach, where you can see a monolith in the shape of a human face. All along the walk are lookouts perfectly positioned in for admiring the UNESCO world heritage lagoon and reef of Bourail Pass. Between April and early September, loggerhead turtles lay eggs on the beach in nearby Turtle Bay. If you sit patiently, you can catch a sight of them swimming in a tumultuous sea.
