Tamarin Salt Pans Viewpoint
A working coastal salt farm near Tamarin where seawater evaporates across a grid of shallow stone pans, leaving white salt harvested by hand. Roadside pullouts give views of the geometric basins set against the Black River mountains, especially photogenic in late afternoon light. A short, free stop for travellers passing along the west coast between Tamarin and Black River.
