District:
Start from the car park at Anse à la Gourde beach, at the end of a small road running perpendicular to the one linking the village of Saint-François and Pointe des Châteaux (D118), on the left shortly after the primary school when coming from Saint-François.
Markings: Yellow + numbered posts with figures + directional signs “Trace de la Pointe à Cabrits”
The directional signs are one-way, indicating the outward route.
(S/E) Facing the large information board, turn left onto a wide sandy path. Pass a chicane (two rocks on the ground) and find post no. 1. Pass a bench on your right and continue through the undergrowth. At post no. 2, pass another bench on your right.
At a T-junction, turn right onto a narrow path, which soon becomes grassy. Ignore a path branching off to the left towards some houses and continue through the dry coastal vegetation. At signpost no. 3, pass some more benches on your right. Pass post no. 4 and arrive at a junction (view of the sea to the right).
(1) Then turn left and climb a grassy path that curves sharply to the right (there is no junction as suggested by the map background... or if there is, it is barely marked). At post no. 5, continue straight ahead, passing two barriers on your left.
(2) At the fork just after the signposts for “Anse à l’Eau” and “Pointe des Châteaux”, turn right. Descend through the vegetation, pass posts no. 6 and then no. 7, and reach a viewing platform at Pointe à Cabrits.
(3) The return journey follows the same route in the opposite direction. N.B. At the two signposts marked "Trace de la Pointe à Cabrits" following marker post no. 3, turn left (do not go right towards the houses). This will take you to Anse à la Gourde (S/E).
