Where are the best beaches in Mauritius?
White sand, azure water, and endless possibilities. The coastlines in Mauritius run the gauntlet from dramatic and wild to intimate and inviting. If you find yourself in need of a beach day, read on to discover some of the secrets of the best beaches in Mauritius.
Le Morne
Stretching out along the border of the southwestern peninsula, Le Morne beach is popular with patrons seeking to enjoy watersports such as kitesurfing and sailing. Quieter and less commercial than some of the beaches further north, staying at the Dinarobin Beachcomber or Paradis Beachcomber will place this beach directly on your doorstep. Expect stunning views of Le Morne Brabant peak and no shortage of things to do.
Blue Bay
Thanks to the marine park located here, this beach is definitely one for nature lovers. Home to a wealth of aquatic flora and fauna, with boats ready to drop snorkelers and divers to the prime viewing spots of the reef, Blue Bay is the perfect place to appreciate natural beauty and is one of the best beaches in Mauritius for swimming. The Shandrani Beachcomber provides guests with three private beaches on this strip of shoreline, as well as PADI-certified diving facilities.
Trou-aux-Biches
This beach is straight from a postcard, and has frequently been ranked as one of the most beautiful beaches in the continent, let alone Mauritius. It is definitely one of the best benefits of choosing to stay at our Trou aux Biches Beachcomber or Victoria Beachcomber resorts. This is the beach that comes to mind when asked to close your eyes and imagine a tropical paradise - white sand lapped by calm, crystal clear waves, lined with gently swaying palm trees. With plenty of access to dining and shops, water that is safe for children, and facilities for both land and water sports, this beach can offer holiday goers absolutely anything they could ask for.
Best beaches in Grand Baie
There are multiple beaches to choose from in the Grand Baie area, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mauritius. The Grand Baie public beach itself is high on the list; it may be smaller in size than some of the other beaches, but what it lacks in stature it makes up for in seafood, sailing and sunsets.
From one of the shortest beaches to one of the longest; there is enough space for everyone on Mont Choisy beach. It’s popularity with locals is testament to its quality, and it’s one of the best places from which to charter a boat for a fishing trip.
Pereybere beach’s deep, tranquil waters make it popular with snorkelers and divers, and anyone else who seeks to spend as much time as possible in the water. Thanks to its location there are plenty of cafes and restaurants within walking distance, making it easy to spend an entire day here.
If Grand Baie and its beaches appeal to you, you may want to look at the Mauricia Beachcomber, Canonnier Beachcomber and Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury resorts for your dream holiday in Mauritius.
