Saint François Beach

Saint François Beach is on Rodrigues’s eastern coast. The Beach Authority’s official list names St. Francois among the island’s public beaches, confirming that this shoreline is a public place to visit. The area is also a starting point for coastal walks, including the footpath to Trou d’Argent, so visitors can choose between a brief beach stop and a longer outing along the coast.

Facilities and water conditions are not specified in the official public-beach list, so check locally before swimming or planning a longer stay. If you are walking onwards, carry water, sun protection and footwear for uneven ground, and allow enough time for the return journey. Respect any local signs and leave the beach clean. The Rodrigues Tourism Office provides broader island information, while current conditions should be confirmed on the day. This is a useful beach for travellers exploring the island’s eastern coast without assuming access to resort facilities.
