Incident Details: An English-speaking cruising couple and their dogs were snorkeling in shallow water along a rocky shore south of Plage Anse Tonnoir beach at 1745HRS. A man approached on swimming noodles and began yelling at them in French. He left and 3-4 minutes later a coconut sized rock was thrown off the adjacent 40 ft. cliff, and splashed about 3-5 feet behind their heads. Several more large rocks were thrown by the man who could be seen through the trees by the road. Luckily, none of the rocks struck the couple or the dogs. They quickly gathered the dogs into the dinghy and departed.
They attempted to make a police report but found the police station was closed. They departed the next day.
