About Mauritius > Beaches


Clear warm water and endless white beaches, Mauritius makes this tropical dream come true. Its large lagoons lined with fine sand are real paradise to those who want to enjoy the sea or just a soak in the sun.

All around the island, large strips of public beaches offer unbeatable relaxing possibilities during the week and great opportunities to mix with the local population at the weekends.

Grand Bay
One of the best areas for sailing, windsurfing and water skiing. The bay is also one of the favorite anchoring place for sailboats and the meeting point for day excursions on the islets around the main land. La Cuvette beach has been recently provided with adequate amenities.

Pereybere
This remarkable small cove half-way between Grand Bay and Cap Malheureux is one of the finest bathing spots on the island.
