Short, pleasant walk. Easy to find. Just head to the water sports shack and turn right on the trail.
I walked there most mornings from the village for a swim in the "pool" in the sea many mornings when we were there.
If you use satellite view on google maps you can scope out the trail before you get there. You will see the pool in that view, too.

Le Galion is not a nude beach. Topless is okay. We have made that walk many times. When it is too windy on Orient we hike over to the shelter of Le Galion.

I never thought of doing that walk. Seems like it would be a nice early morning cobweb-busting hike.

So long as you wear good shoes. Lots of very sharp coral/rocks on the walk.

Your right about it being a bit rough, even though there is a path Carol. I stubbed/bruised my little toe really badly on the last day of my stay. I just took it as an indicator that I shouldn't be leaving that day. (although I still had to leave).

If you stay on the trail, it is not too bad and I walked it wearing flip flops regularly. But, yes, at certain points if you want to get close to the sea on the way to Le Galion, it is quite rocky.
