Boucan Canot Beach, White sand beach in Saint-Paul, France.
The beach stretches along the western coast of Reunion Island with white sand bordered by palm trees and dark volcanic cliffs.
The installation of a 610-meter shark protection net in December 2015 marked a significant change in the beach's accessibility and safety measures.
Local residents and visitors gather at this beach during weekends for swimming, sunbathing, and social activities near the Indian Ocean.
The beach includes supervised swimming areas, public facilities, and a lifeguard station that operates daily from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
A natural pool formed by volcanic rocks provides a sheltered swimming environment separate from the ocean's stronger currents.
