Overview
Anse Lazio is a crescent about 600 m long, bordered by granite boulders, with a tourist-listing source reporting shops and restaurants nearby. It has no fringing reef and the water deepens quickly. Swimming nets once marked a protected area; Wikipedia says they were removed some years after fatal shark attacks in 2011, so check current local advice. It is busy by day and quieter before 9 a.m.
