About Anse la Raie
Huge lagoon on the northern tip of the island with almost two kilometers of “one way riding. Tide does not play a big role for this spot unless you go for the rocky areas which are well visible because of the clear water. Some waves are to be had on the reef, but these are best discovered by the more experienced as they are very shallow waves breaking on nasty coral. On the reef enclosing this bay are two wave spots that are regularly ridden by the locals, “Yachya†and “Panicâ€. When you enter the water at the main surf beach, there is a very narrow channel of sand, which has been created by the locals to access the water without stepping on stones.
