Wolmar beach

The quieter southern end of Flic en Flac, in front of the Wolmar hotels: soft sand, a calm lagoon and the best reef of the area right offshore.

Wolmar is the southern part of the long Flic en Flac beach, between the public beach and Tamarin. The hotels keep it tidy, the lagoon is calm and clear, and the coral patches of the Wolmar reef start a short swim from the shore.

It's much quieter than the Flic en Flac public beach, especially at weekends, and only 20 minutes from the villa.
