Devils Island in French Guiana is an island which is both famous and infamous. Prisoners were sent from mainland France to serve their time here with the most famous being Napoleon. The film Papillon was based on the escape of a prisoner from the island but there is some doubt as to the historical accuracy of the film. The adjacent island is the one where all tourists land from their cruise liners coming ashore by ship's tender. There is plenty of local wildlife to see including monkeys and a small rodent like animal. The walk around the island is essential as you pass abandoned buildings from a past era and possibly see local fishermen risking life and limb by climbing down the rocky shoreline to cast their lines into the fast flowing seaway.

The best beach in Cayenne lies just outside the city centre. It's perfect for swimming and a popular nesting site for tea turtles. Pack a picnic and relax on the sand after a busy morning, sightseeing.
