Baie des Flamands is a tranquil coastal lagoon near Les Cayes, famous for its resident flamingos that wade in the shallows. Visitors can take guided boat tours through the mangroves, spotting herons, egrets, and other birds. The bay's protected waters make it ideal for kayaking or swimming, while the surrounding hills offer hiking trails with bay views. It's a peaceful escape into nature.
