User reviews
"Fantastic public beach located in the eastern part of Mauritius near Roches-Noires and Bras-D'Eau. The stunning vistas of neighboring islands and hotels along the coastline add to its charm. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for a refreshing swim. I highly recommend this beach."
Antonella Axl
"Great location to observe the waves, with large willow trees swaying on breezy days. Also a fantastic fishing location. Well-known for being a popular kitesurfing spot as well. Could benefit from more food vendors, so it's advisable to bring your own meals."
