Route du Cap N'Dua

Route du Cap N'Dua is a nature trail and dirt road that runs through a natural reserve overlooking the Grand South Lagoon. The path leads to several observation points where visitors can see the ocean and coastal landscape.

The lighthouse at the cape was built in 1865 and still shapes the character of the place today. The structure played an important role in the maritime history of the region.

The trail passes through areas that show how local people connect with their natural surroundings, particularly through marine life observation. Several spots along the route offer direct views of the lagoon and ocean.

The paths are clearly marked so you can easily navigate between different viewpoints. Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for weather changes, as the route sits on exposed coastal terrain.

Humpback whales can be spotted during migration season from dedicated viewing platforms along the route, making it a special place for wildlife watchers. The meeting point of land and sea creates ideal conditions for this yearly natural event.
