DetailsWhales, beaches and history
From about July to September, humpback whales gather in the channel between Sainte-Marie and the mainland, and boat trips go out to see them. The rest of the year the island is ideal for slow days on the beach, cycling and visiting the small Île aux Nattes in the south.
