Reunion Island is a paradise for surfers but, after a series of fatal shark attacks, surfing all but ceased for several years, except at the small enclave of La Jetée. A special journey takes place to connect with this incredible island and its people. Shark attacks are still a concern, and surfing outside designated protected areas is technically illegal, but there has not been an attack on the island in several years. Scientists can’t say with certainty why, but there is important research being done and the protected areas at places like St Leu have made getting in the water safer.
