Pointe de la Table, Cape in Saint-Philippe, Reunion Island, France.
The Pointe de la Table stands on the southeastern coastline of Reunion Island, where lava fields meet the Indian Ocean waters.
The cape formed through volcanic activity from Piton de la Fournaise, with repeated lava flows reaching the ocean over thousands of years.
Local residents gather at this location during the summer months to fish and observe the natural formations created by volcanic activity.
Visitors can reach the cape by following the coastal road from Saint-Philippe, with parking available near the observation points.
The location marks one of the few places in France where fresh lava flows regularly extend the shoreline into the ocean.
