Plage des Badamiers, Coastal beach in Petite-Terre, Mayotte, France

Plage des Badamiers is a beach on the northern tip of Petite-Terre with light-colored sand that gives way to rocky formations toward the south. The shoreline displays varied structures, from gentle slopes to rugged rock sections that become visible at low tide.

The sources document only the beach's setting: on the northern coast of Petite-Terre, in the commune of Dzaoudzi, about 6 km northeast of Mamoudzou across the water. No recorded event, construction or military episode is attached to the site in the available documents, so its history is that of a coastal strip shaped by the sea on Dzaoudzi's shoreline.

The name comes from the badamier trees growing along this coast of Petite-Terre. In Dzaoudzi, the beach is a local bathing spot on the island's northern shore, a few kilometres from Mamoudzou across the water. The trees stand behind the sand and mark the edge of the beach.

Natural pools form in the rocky sections when the tide goes out, creating shallow areas to explore. From here you can see Mamoudzou across the water and watch the maritime activity in the bay.

The beach lies on the northern tip of Petite-Terre, in the commune of Dzaoudzi, about 6 km northeast of Mamoudzou across the water. The site is a proposal in the travel data, so check locally before planning a visit. The sand is light-coloured, not black.
