Water

Coastal bathing water body in an open sea environment. The beach is situated between the Massel river to the north and a ravine draining into Anse Noire to the south.

Location

Le Marin commune. The beach profile office is located at 26, rue Osman Duquesnay 97 290 Le Marin.

Water Quality

Water quality classified as Type 1 profile under European Directive 2006/7/CE, indicating sufficient, good, or excellent quality based on simulation from the last four bathing seasons' sanitary monitoring results. No established contamination risk.

Risks

Potential sources of bacteriological pollution identified include: domestic wastewater discharge from the snack bar 'le gourmand' with undefined treatment system; horse passages from Ranch des Caps along the beach with no defined procedure for managing horse waste; the 'four à chaux' ravine discharging into the bathing zone. However, the beach is not expected to be exposed to pollution for extended periods due to its open coastal location, despite easterly winds that could concentrate pollutants in the bathing area.
