Plage des Badamiers

The beach extends along the northern tip of Petite-Terre, featuring white sand shores that gradually transition into a rocky platform towards the south.

The beach area contains 115 hectares of coastline and houses the military listening center, which has been monitoring maritime activities in the region since its establishment.

The beach derives its name from the Badamier trees, which produce myrobalan fruits traditionally used by local communities for creating red-brown natural dyes.

Natural pools form in the beach's rocky sections during low tide, while the location provides direct views of Mamoudzou across the water.

The beach terrain consists of black sand formations mixed with coral and rock elements, creating distinctive geological patterns visible during low tide periods.
