Debaras Turlte Watch - Heritage Tour |
Join a small group on an overnight camp and participate in a conservation process.
Grande Anse, about 10km north of Dennery on the east coast, is one of the most important beaches in the region for nesting sea turtles. Pounded by a dramatic (and dangerous) surf, this ruggedly beautiful spot has never been developed, and the only signs of human habitation are the lights of the village of Desbarras that twinkle up on the distant hillside once night falls. Most of the time the beach is empty, but from March to August a steady trickle of visitors make the dirt-track truck ride to experience a true natural wonder – the spectacle of leatherback turtles, the world’s largest living reptiles, coming ashore to lay their eggs. |
