Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, this beach has it all.

A place for relaxation and activities

Hermitage is not just a place to bask in the sun - it also offers many activities for adrenaline seekers or those looking to unwind. Swimming with a mask and snorkel is perfect for exploring the lagoon’s seabed, renowned for its biodiversity. If you’re into water sports, Hermitage is a prime spot for kite flying and kitesurfing. Kitesurfing schools are available on the beach to introduce you to this fascinating sport, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider.

The beach is also the starting point of a marine trail marked out by the Marine Reserve, an ecotourism route that allows you to discover the lagoon’s underwater wealth in complete safety.

Safety and preserved environment

While swimming here is a real pleasure, it’s important to remember that Hermitage Beach is subject to current risks, particularly near the pass. However, this area is protected by nets and supervised by lifeguards who ensure the safety of swimmers. Moreover, the beach has been awarded the Blue Flag label, a guarantee of exemplary environmental quality, ensuring a clean and nature-friendly setting.

In addition, Hermitage Beach is surrounded by some of the island’s finest hotels, offering comfort and luxury after a day of relaxation or activities.
