Where to park for the Le Morne hike
Use the trailhead map above to find the hiking entrance and nearby parking. Follow signs and staff instructions. Reaching the car park does not mean the whole mountain is open.
Section 1 is open. Section 2 is closed until further notice because of rockfall danger. Access to the summit is prohibited, including with a guide. Stay within Section 1 and follow instructions at the entrance.
Where to arrive for Le Morne Public Beach
For a beach visit, choose Le Morne Public Beach on the peninsula map. Hiking parking and beach access are separate destinations. Follow local signs and parking instructions when you arrive.
Choosing your transport
A car gives you flexibility for several stops, provided you plan parking and the return journey. With a taxi or transfer, agree on the pickup point, return arrangements and fare before travelling.
If travelling by bus, check the route, that day’s timetable and the distance from the stop to your destination. Confirm your return service before relying on it.
Planning the return journey
Allow time for traffic, stops and changing weather. Check directions from your actual departure point on the day. Driving times depend on where you start and the conditions.
