La Roche qui Pleure

Waves continuously crash against steep rock formations along the southern coastline, creating water sprays that resemble falling tears at this natural site.

The French colonists named this location in the 18th century, observing how the continuous water spray from waves resembled tears flowing down the rocks.

Local fishing communities gather near these cliffs during specific seasons to catch various fish species using traditional methods passed through generations.

Visitors can access the viewpoint through a paved path from the main road, with designated parking spaces and information panels available near the entrance.

The absence of a protective coral reef at this specific location allows waves to hit the rocks with full force, creating water patterns visible from great distances.
