The local Area around Bonne Anse Plage
Sun baking
With sheltered beaches and coves, the beach resort of La Palmyre is ideal for families. But if you prefer catching the waves, then head further round the coast near the lighthouse for excellent surfing. There’s also a good bay here for windsurfing.
Going to the zoo
Your children will love the zoo at La Palmyre - particularly as many of the animals will happily munch popcorn out of their hands, the elephants and giraffes seem particularly keen on the stuff. Just don’t let them try this with the lions! The zoo is one of the biggest in Europe with 1,600 animals. It runs breeding programmes for endangered species but something makes me suspect that your children are going to be more interested in the parrot and sealion shows, the baby monkeys and zebras, and the extrovert meercats who love to play up to an audience.
