A sandy-and-rocky west-coast beach just north of Cobo, a local favourite for high-tide swimming and sunsets.
Tides are the same island-wide. These are today’s heights and times for Grandes Rocques.
Grandes Rocques (also known as Saline Bay) combines sandy sections with large granite formations. At low water more of the rocky shoreline is exposed; as the sea rises, some rocks become submerged and harder to see.
It sits right beside Cobo, and it’s a recognised west-coast sunset spot. Higher water is popular with local swimmers, but submerged rocks are a real consideration, so check the water carefully and don’t rely on the predicted height alone to judge depth.
Higher water is the popular swimming state, but rocks that are visible at low tide disappear as the sea rises. Avoid diving into unfamiliar areas.
Tides. Tide predictions are forecasts. Actual sea level is affected by atmospheric pressure, wind and waves. Always observe the sea and your surroundings.
Swimming. Sea swimming carries risks: currents, waves, rocks, submerged structures, boats and cold water. This page is for planning and does not confirm conditions are safe.
