About Palmeraie
Palmar lagoon is paradisaic: turquoise water with white sand on several hundreds of meters. You can ride safely at any moment of the day, no matter of the tide. The lagoon is surrounded by a reef barrier on which waves are breaking. The water is therefore flat inside the lagoon, and there is no strong currents because they are no passes next to the spot. On the northern side it is a lot wider in front of the Saint Gerain and Belle Mare Plage Hotel, with fairly safe and deep enough water to cruise. At the public beach it is a bit more shallow and special care must be taken at low tide for the big fields of stag horn corals. Reef waves between 1-3m high, but not really ridable. A few, small rocky wave breakers on the beach further south.
