West Coast to South Coast La Réunion, A Slow Local Route. Reunion Island West Coast Beaches Guide
This slow road trip from La Réunion Island West Coast to the Wild South shows the island as locals live it. Lagoon mornings near Saint-Gilles, spice-filled markets in Saint-Paul, black sand beaches at Étang-Salé, and volcanic coastlines beyond Saint-Pierre all fit into a relaxed, coastal-first route. I visited with local friends, slept in a tent by the sea, ate Creole food without rushing, and stopped whenever the light felt right. The Travel Bunny’s Reunion West Coast guide covers beaches, food, driving, safety, and pacing, so you can experience Réunion without overplanning and without burning out.
