The white beaches of Blue Bay, Palmar and Belle Mare stretch endlessly along the coast, fringed on one side by the shady green casuarinas trees and edged by the lagoon on the other side. Along the east coast the beaches are more virgin with less beach facilities and are also less crowded than the beaches at the North of the Island.
The most popular beaches of the East region of Mauritius are: Blue Bay, Belle Mare and the beaches of the Ile aux Cerfs Island.
South Coast Beaches of Mauritius
The south of Mauritius is considered to be a more virgin region of the Island providing wilder scenery.
The south of the Island is also known for its high sea cliffs and for the dramatic sights of the big waves crushing against the rocks. The reason for the big waves is the breaks in the coral reef at that area which allow the waves to reach all the way to the coast. This makes the sight of Mauritius south coastline very dramatic and picturesque.
The beaches on the Southern part of the island are not recommended for swimming. Usually the area is made up of quite high cliffs which most of the time directly fall into in the sea. Also, due to the fact the island is not protected at this area by the reef, the sea currents are very strong and can be dangerous.
The most popular beaches of the South region of Mauritius are: St Félix, Riviere des Galets and Gris Gris.
