Pito, sorry your post got hijacked but that happens from time to time. The water is very calm almost 100% of the time at Le Galion. It's not a huge beach, but long enough for a nice stroll. Lots of locals hang out there on Sundays and holidays. The road to get there is a little bit rough (or at least it was a couple of months ago) and, yes, there have been robberies/thefts there but it happens in other places, as well. It's definitely worth a visit just to see it, if nothing else. Very different from many of the other beaches.
