The Piscines Naturelles at Grand Fond are natural tide pools on the wild windward coast, reached by a scenic hike with dramatic cliff views and wild goats along the way. When the water level and swell are right the pools are lovely for a swim, though sea urchins are common, so tread carefully and go when the sun is lower.
