Grande Terre - The west coast The western side of Grande Terre is drier than the east and you'll find the fauna here less verdant and somewhat lower, giving it a wonderfully western feel. ©Gil Giuglio
The west coast offers savannah-like landscapes with predominant Paper Bark Tea Trees; it is the region of the great Caledonian ranches. Go along the coast, all the way to the north point, to reach Poum. From there, you will discover beautiful scenery of red hills contrasting with the blue of the lagoon and small fine sandy creeks.
