Ghoubet kharab, Lake Goubet

---

Also called “La grande ile du Diable” or Guinni koma.


Nothing really scary but some legend relates that a monster (heard of that before), would
have been trapped under this half melon shape mass of rock and that anyone adventuring
too close under would get snapped up to his death.
Bah! Can’t be bothered, we take the plunge…. Was it sleeping?... Yeah! Eventually we frightened two women who came for a stroll on the beach. Maybe they thought we were some demons. When they heard our voices they got so scared that they rushed back to their car and drove off in no time. We were at the other end of the beach and it was dark that's all.

The lake is well known for its abundance of beautiful corals, multicoloured fish, Manta rays and sharks. It's a heaven for fishing and the locals know that. Snorkelling is also a must.

I don’t have much of pictures from there but only one
However pictures can be seen from the web at:
