What Makes Mauritius Beaches So Special?

Mauritius is the preferred location for every Indian traveller because it is surrounded by a beautiful coastline, and many beaches feature white sand, clear lagoons and tropical surroundings. Ireland's beaches are not the same either. Some beaches are ideal for swimming and relaxing, while others are better known for snorkelling, diving, water sports, sunsets or their scenic surroundings.

Various beaches in Mauritius, like Ile aux Cerfs, Mont Choisy, Trou aux Biches, Flic en Flac, Le Morne, Blue Bay, Belle Mare and Pereybère among its major beach attractions. So let's take a closer look at the beaches of Mauritius that you may want to include in your Mauritius holiday.

1. Flic en Flac Beach

When you want a beach that truly combines beautiful scenery with plenty to do, Flic en Flac is the great beach to start your holiday. This is located on the west coast, and it is one of the longest beaches in Mauritius. You feel relaxed and spend the entire day walking on the sand or exploring marine life. There are also food options available nearby, which makes it easy to spend several hours there without rushing. 

Flic en Flac Beach is the perfect place for Families, couples, swimming, snorkelling and sunsets.

2. Trou aux Biches Beach

Want to experience the classic tropical beach? Trou aux Biches is another beach you would want to visit. Located in the northern part of Mauritius, this beach is famous for its clear lagoon, soft sand and relaxed atmosphere. It is also popular among snorkelers and divers, who are able to enjoy the different undersea beauty, while shaded areas offer a comfortable walking experience.

3. Mont Choisy Beach

Mont Choisy is a great option for you if you are looking forward to having ample space to relax and unwind. The long beach that lies in the northwest of Mauritius has a curvy shoreline that encircles a turquoise bay. There are plenty of casuarina trees on the beach, which enable swimmers to carry out different water activities.

4. Belle Mare Beach

Imagine your day wherever you are starting it with a stroll across a very long and white sandy stretch while the sun is rising over the Indian Ocean. And this is what makes Belle Mare so attractive as a destination on the eastern coast. It's famous for its long stretches of sandy beaches and clear water, where you can spend your time swimming, snorkelling, and diving.

5. Le Morne Beach

Le Morne is famous for its incredible mountain backdrops, giving it that unique character. The beach near Le Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines picturesque white sand beaches and clean waters with mountains. The place is popular for kitesurfing, while tourists who are just looking for relaxation can spend the day at the beach and enjoy watching the sunset.

6. Blue Bay Beach

Blue Bay is a water-centric location. Located in the southeast of Mauritius, the beach boasts striking blue waters and proximity to the Blue Bay Marine Park. Swimming, boating, diving, windsurfing and parasailing are some of the activities to enjoy at this spot. There is also the popular glass-bottom boat ride to see the aquatic world without getting wet.

7. Pereybère Beach

The beach of Pereybere is also worth visiting when in Mauritius, especially if you find yourself in the northern part of the island. It is one of the regular public beaches in Mauritius and is included in many of the island’s famous beach places.

8. Île aux Cerfs

If you've ever come across the images of Mauritius that show its stunningly blue waters and small islands dotted across the ocean, you are likely familiar with Île aux Cerfs. Situated near the east coast, Ile aux Cerfs has grown increasingly popular among visitors, providing them with gorgeous beaches, views of lagoons, and a wide array of water activities. According to the tourism authorities of Mauritius, this island has some of the most famous beaches in Mauritius.

9. Grand Baie

The Grand Baie environment is not what one would term a conventional beach holiday destination. Situated in the northern part of the island, it is famous for its protected bay layered with an energetic vibe, be it gastronomy, shopping spots, or even nightlife and entertainment in general.

10. La Cambuse Beach

Looking for a fresh perspective on Mauritius? Consider including La Cambuse in your itinerary. This beach features as one of the best beach destinations according to the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority. Situated on the southeastern part of the island, this is ideal for those who are keen on traversing beyond the most conventional beaches.

11. Tamarin Beach

Tamarin is one more destination on the west coast, presenting a slightly different experience with regard to the beaches. The west coast attracts many different kinds of tourists, especially those with an interest in sunsets, marine activities, and coastal views. The area of Tamarin provides access to different experiences, which can be a useful benefit for those tourists who wish to spend their vacation on the beach while getting to know new attractions.

12. St Felix Beach

Situated on the southern coastline, St Felix is famous for its crystal water and long sandy beach. Nonetheless, beach surroundings entail currents and reefs; thus, it is required to take note of the prevailing local conditions before going into the sea. The beach itself has plenty of space for enjoyable moments at the ocean.

How Many Days Are Enough For Mauritius Beach Holidays?

When you want to explore Mauritius, 5 to 7 days can give you a comfortable amount of time and choosing the best Mauritius tour package from an experienced travel company like DTY, which has worked in this industry since 2014. On a shorter vacation, the focus might need to be reduced to just one or two areas instead of hours of transit around the island. If planning a longer stay – a week or longer – combining a few beaches with different excursions, sightseeing or other experiences in Mauritius should go without a hitch.

This is where a properly planned holiday might come into play.

At Dream Travel Yaari, you will be able to completely tailor your holiday to suit what you actually want to do on your trip instead of just filling the day with sightseeing.
