Fumier Beach, though unassuming in name, is a delightful secret waiting to be discovered near Pointe Coton. Imagine a crescent of soft, pale sand, framed by low-lying scrub and the occasional weathered rock. The water here is a mesmerizing gradient of turquoise and emerald, so clear you can see the intricate patterns of the sand beneath your feet. It's the kind of beach where the only footprints you might see are your own.
