Tartane and the Caravelle peninsula

Day 5

Now is the time for a change of scenery: an hour's sail from here will take you to the Baie aux Trésors, a new nature reserve situated at the tip of the point of La Caravelle. This is a very sheltered and magical spot, with the ruins of the Dubuc castle where a 17th century colony was supposed to have hidden its treasures...the kids will hunt for them and play many-a-game of treasure hunt during the rest of your holiday!

You will skirt the point, navigate for around 2 to 3 hours, then head for either:

• Tartane and its surfing enthusiasts, a small fishing village with calm moorings yet a lively ambiance
• or Le Havre de Trinité, which is slightly further along the coast.
