Lagoon and Public Beach

The public beach of Butte à L'herbe is in Calodyne. Calodyne’s public swimming cove has a calm, shallow lagoon that is especially popular with families with children. An offshore coral reef protects the lagoon and helps create a calm, shallow pool of water. At the public beach, lush vegetation provides natural shade. The lagoon’s characteristics and the natural shade are two specific features to consider when planning a day by the water.

On Foot and by Kayak

Walkers can cover several kilometres along the shore in Calodyne. A 2019 fact sheet also describes a two-hour kayak tour with Yemaya Adventures around the islet of Kalodyne.
