Yes, leave NOTHING of value in the car. They don't want your fun-noodles though! We walk to Le Galion from Orient when it is too windy on Orient. It is wonderful. Reminds me of a midwest lake in terms of family feel. We've never driven there, we always walk from Orient. Besides a decent food concession there is also a water sports concession and if you want to learn to windsurf it is the best place on the island for that since it is so shallow you can fall off your board and get right back on easily.
