Anse Turin beach
Anse Turin or Turin bay is a beach with light gray sand and it offers a magnificent view of Pele Mount. It is wide, spacious and quite long. A mighty green massif, that encloses the beach territory from the road, makes local landscapes bright and colorful. Moreover, due to the trees growing right near the sand, a natural shadow is created, which is quite convenient for tourists who do not like to rent sun umbrellas. The beach is within walking distance to Saint-Pierre.

Beach description
The water is clean and transparent, but depth begins almost near the shore, that's why little children should be kept under supervision. It is perfect place for picnics, especially when right beyond the beach territory, there are trading and small shops where coconut sorbet and, for some reason, grilled chicken are considered to be the favorite goodies of vacationers. The influx of tourists can be noticed on this beach on the weekend.
According to legend, it was on this beach in far 1502 that Columbus landed. Well, you'll have a great opportunity to feel like a pioneer, if you decide to visit Anse Turin! Also here, it is possible to do fascinating scuba diving: snorkeling or diving, if you rent equipment. There are several sunken ships, and the still sea offer perfect visibility conditions for those who is looking for underwater adventures.
