L'Étang-Salé

The western region combines black sand beaches formed by volcanic activity with dense tropical vegetation and direct access to the Indian Ocean.

The name originates from historical salt production activities that took place in the natural coastal ponds of this administrative territory.

The region maintains French and Creole musical traditions through performances at local festivals and community gatherings throughout the year.

Regular bus connections link the territory to principal towns of Réunion, with multiple daily departures from the central transportation hub.

The territory features natural salt basins where seawater evaporates naturally, creating mineral deposits along the volcanic coastline.
