Pierre percée
★★★★☆
(377)
Located on the northern part of the island of Ratonneau, this very sheltered cove has a hole in the rock that looks like an elephant’s eye and trunk.A few cormorants also nest here in the cliffs.In the water, a small drop-off on the other side of the eye with a small piton at the foot of the trunk.
Quite a rich wildlife for the area, with lots of small fish such as castagnols, sars, octopus...
