Beach description
The coastline with a length of about 1.5 km is covered with fine white sand. During tides the water floods the sandy strip and approaches the thickets. The descent into water is smooth and the sea bottom is covered in sand and stones. Shallow. No high waves. Beach is suitable for swimming, for small children, sunbathing, snorkeling and scuba diving. It is especially interesting to do snorkeling at night, when the glow of microorganisms emerges from the water. The abundance of thickets near the beach line allows to find a comfortable place in the shade. There is no infrastructure, except for the protected landscaped area of the beach hotel.
Anse la Mouche is not very crowded. Among visitors are families with children, snorkelers, lovers of sunbathing and calm holiday. Near is a small restaurant where tourists can order seafood dishes.
