Beware, this beach is frequently subject to the arrival of shoals of sargassum in the Atlantic.

It is accessible by car via the N6 to get there, but it is also advisable to go to the beach of Petit Macabou and then follow the trail. Beware, though, the road leading to the beach is quite difficult as with many holes.
