Lapland de Palmiste is located in the western part of the French overseas department of Reunion and is an important seaside tourist town on the island. It is bordered by the city of São Paulo to the east and the Indian Ocean to the west, and is famous for its 5-kilometer-long black sand beaches and spectacular sunset views.
The name of the town is a blend of colonial history and geography, with "Palmiste" referring to the lush palm groves of the area. It retains its traditional Creole architecture and hosts annual ecological events such as the release of sea turtles. The nearby Corderina Nature Reserve is an ideal place to observe Reunion's endemic birds.
As Reunion's main resort area, the coast is dotted with beachfront villas and water sports centers. The economy is dominated by tourism, supplemented by herb farming and fishing. St. Denis International Airport is easily accessible via the RN1 highway and is an important point on the island's tourist circuit.
