A quieter sandy bay near Rousse Headland, with rocky areas and pools revealed as the tide falls.
Tides are the same island-wide. These are today’s heights and times for Baie de Port Grat.
Port Grat is smaller and generally quieter than the better-known west-coast beaches. Its sandy centre is bordered by a rocky shoreline that becomes more prominent as the tide drops.
The coastal path links the bay with Rousse, Port Soif and Grandes Rocques, making a good longer shoreline walk. Facilities at the beach are limited; the nearest public toilets are identified at Rousse.
Low water exposes rocky areas and pools. Note when the tide turns and take care not to be cut off on rocks or in gullies as the sea returns. Local topography and waves matter as much as the tide time.
