I’m not willing to take a guess as to what the odor might be, though I realy doubt it’s sewage, and it reminded me at the time of a sulphur-like odor moreso than anything else I could equate it to, but whatever it was, it was definitely nasty the one time we so briefly experienced it. But like I said, we go multiple times most trips and over a lot of years we only experienced it once. If it was totally pervasive we would have left and we didn’t.

And Scuba, those sharp little stones are painful enough that I actually purchased water sandals for our next trip. Hopefully it won’t happen this trip but we also experienced the same sharp little stones at Anse Marcel, of all places, last November so I’m not taking any chances this year.
