The best bit is the walk here from the car park in Vicendo. Lots of olivine sands on the way there, bombs and other bits of pretty volcanic formations. The Cap itself is difficult to see through the foliage, but definitely worth the extra walking to get here.

Probably more worthwhile than Cap Jaune itself (though it's cool to see) is the walk out there. Part traipsing along the coast, watching and hearing the waves crash against the rocks, and part trekking through the jungle, the 30-minute (or so, depending on your speed and how often you stop to take photos) walk is really nice.
You can park for free at the picnic area in Vincendo (Plage de la Marine Vincendo, I think, is what you'll want to put in to Google Maps) and then just head to the coast and look for white paint on the rocks (heading in the opposite direction as the waterfall, or the "caution shark" sign if it's still there). Basically, if you're facing the ocean and your back is to the parking lot, head to the right. You should see a worn path, or maybe other people out there to follow. Enjoy!

Very nice cape where you take a slap as the elements are beautiful and wild: dismounted sea, imposing wind, volcanic rock plunging into the ocean and preserved nature.
The only downside would be a toilet to prevent visitors from "spreading out".

Easy to access, for a super beautiful viewpoint with this yellow rock. All this lava that is created near it is magnificent. Go there and make up your own mind.

Very beautiful walk to be done without difficulty in less than an hour. Beautiful viewpoints with different types of landscapes and the highlight is Cap Jaune.

Coastal path accessible with children, with families, easy to access, marked path on the rocks, arrival at Cap Jaune and breathtaking views.
We didn't want to do a long hike but just trudge through the rocks and it was perfect.
Magical spectacle of straw in line in an exceptional landscape.
NB: Watch out for mosquitoes :)

Very beautiful wild site. Beautiful walk that we must do with a great view of the sea, before arriving at the site. At the end of the walk we are rewarded.
