Weather has eventually turned to sunny :-). Some of us went to discover the beaches on the eastern side of Cayenne. They are not so numerous in French Guyana and certainly looking very different for the idyllic ones of the
Antilles islands. Some pictures below will give you a flavor of the coastal landscapes we enjoyed to visit between Remire-Monjoly and the Pointe-Diamant.
Typical view of a French Guyana beach.
(If you decide to swim, be careful, strong streams!)
Woods transported by stream and or tides from the (Mahury?) river.
Natural drawings on the sand
These "blackish" stones are frequent on the beach.
Fort Diamant, a French Navy fortification (XVIIIth century) to protect the mouth of the Mahury river. This place is being renovated.
(En passant, few articles report that this defense never prevented the Dutch Navy to pass through)
Entrance of the Navy fortification
(looks a bit like a prison, doesn't it?)
