Car Rental in L’Étang-Salé

Between ocean and forest, L’Étang-Salé is one of those towns where every turn brings a new surprise. Famous for its vast black sand beach - the largest on the island - as well as its forest and natural pools, it offers a wide range of outdoor activities. Renting a car with Tropicar is the best way to enjoy all these landscapes without restrictions.

Freedom between coast, forest and trails

L’Étang-Salé is all about contrasts. You can start your day on the volcanic beach, then drive to the forest or the Gouffre, a dramatic lava corridor where waves crash with spectacular force. A car is essential to easily reach these different sites, often spread out, such as the Bassin Bleu or the Bassin Sardine along the coast.

Activities for every traveler

On weekends, the seaside market draws both locals and visitors. Nearby, snack bars, ice cream shops and small restaurants offer the perfect break. Families will love Croc Parc and the water park hidden in the forest. With a rental car, you can do it all at your own pace, according to your mood.

Exploring beyond the town center

L’Étang-Salé is much more than just its beach. With your Tropicar vehicle, you can set off on hiking, mountain biking or even horseback riding trails in the highlands of the commune. You can also easily drive to nearby towns like Saint-Pierre along the coast, or climb up to the perched hamlets of the backcountry. Between black sand, filaos trees and coastal paths, this southern gem is well worth the trip
