Introducing Grande Rivière Noire
Two kilometres on from La Preneuse, the otherwise sleepy community of Grande Rivière Noire is a major centre for big-game fishing. Just offshore from the mouth of the estuary, the ocean bottom plunges to 700m, providing the perfect environment for jacks and other bait fish. These small fry attract big predators such as tuna, shark and marlin. If you’re after more gentle pursuits, you can also arrange cruises and dolphin-watching expeditions from here, and one of the two main entrances to the Black River Gorges National Park lies just 5km inland.
