Cap Malheureux owes its name to all the shipwrecks that took place on its shores. It was also here that the English, in 1810, landed to take possession of the island.
But now it's known for its red-roofed church! Postcard decor, breathtaking views of the Gunner's Corner and the North Islands. Hosting many weddings throughout the year, or couples just coming for a photo shoot to immortalize their union, this place is well appreciated. The small beach in front is home to street vendors to buy fruit, local produce and pareos, or fishermen.
