10 Beaches in Mauritius That You Shouldn't Miss
Mauritius is arguably Africa’s wealthiest destination, a tropical paradise with tons to do. Port Louis, the modern capital of this 38-mile by 29-mile island, is a bustling port with a revitalized waterfront and a busy market. But most visitors gravitate toward resort areas such as Mont Choisy, quiet Trou-aux-Biches and the more bustling Flic en Flac, popular with scuba divers. Rivière Noire is ideal for those looking for great deep-sea fishing.

Probably the best beach I’ve ever been to! So beautiful sand and sea. Shallows to swim or play in with safety buoys and rope to help you avoid going out too far. There’s lots of parking spaces available as well as ample room under the trees just off the beach for picnicking or games.

We had a great time here. It has white sand and clear blue water. Trees are close enough to have some shade but the best parts is going for a walk towards the resorts where sea is cut with a low shelf and you can find sea cucumbers, starfish and crabs. Also, the beach has a nice view on the sunset.
6. Pointe d'Esny

Point d'Esny looks amazing with crystal clear water and one of the whitest sandy beaches I've seen on Mauritius. It is great to spend a couple of hours here. There are, however, no facilities and for food it's a good idea to go to the busier Blue Bay. The entrance is quite hard to find, there is a small path in between two villas on the coastal road from Mahebourg to Blue Bay. There is a sign that says "Pedestrian Access to the Beach". After like 150m or so you will find yourself on this tropical beach. It is not a very hidden gem anymore, you will find yourself with other people, but it is still beautiful.

9. Pointe Bernache

Pointe Bernache (known simply as Bernache) is located to the North East of Mauritius it is close to the larger island of Ile d'Ambre (Amber Island) and is best reached from the villages of Grand Gaube or Poudre d'Or. An excursion on the Pirate ship, Le Bounty ads extra magic. It is not far from the 1744 shipwreck of the Saint Greran. It takes about half an hour, and when departing from Grand Gaube or Poudre d'Or, boats stay inside the reef. This is a good alternative when the rough sea does not allow a visit to the islands on the North. Enjoy spectacular views of the mountains and coast line of Mauritius. Bernache is flat and covered in pine trees. There is not much to see, but the swimming and snorkeling is well enjoyed. Rare species of birds of Mauritius are present. Tours can be arranged from hotels in the area by speed boat, catamaran or other means. Normally a BBQ lunch with a variety of drinks under the shade of the trees are included. Some tours will include a visit to the mangroves on Ile d Ambre. This is not to be missed when in Mauritius.

Îlot us a French word means small island. The Gabriel island is situated in Indian ocean and surrounded by reef, corals and various sea life. We we have taken catamaran Cruise to travel this location. The journey is breathtaking. Thanks ocean water is ink blue in colour. How were the moment we approach near the island, due to various controls and depth the colour of the water changes. It is an eye savouring moment and view to relish long. One would like to capture the photogenic scene so that you can relish it later on.
