Pointe aux Piments is a residential stretch of the north-west coast with a couple of small public beaches. The water is calm and shallow, the coral is close to shore and, facing west, it gets the sunset like our side of the island.
It's a peaceful alternative to the busier Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy beaches nearby.
