Îlet Pinel
A protected nature reserve, this kid-friendly island is a five-minute ferry ride from French Cul de Sac (about €12 per person round-trip). The ferry runs every half hour from midmorning until 4 pm. The water is clear and shallow, and the shore is sheltered. You can swim and snorkel (equipment rental is available) between both coasts of this pencil-shape speck in the ocean. The two restaurants, Karibuni and Yellow Beach, both offer great service, with cocktail tables in the water. Chairs and umbrellas can be rented for about €25 for two. The island can be busy on Sunday.
