Cap Méchant
The South
Why go
A black lava coastline on Réunion's south coast, where the Indian Ocean crashes against young volcanic formations. Natural pools hollowed out of the rock allow swimming in spectacular surroundings. The site shows how the island keeps growing with each successive lava flow from the Piton de la Fournaise.
