The East Coast

The East Coast district of Flacq is quieter than Trou aux Biche or areas on the West Coast. Beaches are the major attraction and as usual, big hotels have picked prime stretches but there is still enough sand and sea left to go around Ile aux Cerfs. The only trouble is the lack of budget accommodation. Sea breezes are more common on the East Coast, bringing bracing air to the beaches from Roches Noires to Poste Lafayette. The Belle Mare area is renowned for the white sweep of sands at Palmar, while the beach at Trou'd Eau Deuce narrows as it extends to Mahebourg. By boat, from the Tossesarok Hotel at Trou d'Eau Douce, it is a 20-minutes ride to the Ile aux Cerfs where there are restaurants and a boathouse by the jetty, and miles of undisturbed, beautiful beaches on the rest of the island.

    Description

  • Beaches

    Mauritius is a coral reef encircle, it's coastline glistens with beaches of powdery white sands, lapped gently by translucent water lagoons. It is this sandy margin, more than anything, that draws the tourists. Tourism is now the island's third biggest industry, after sugar and textiles. In Mauritius the best beaches have hotels close to them but these are not exclusive tourist enclaves and most have public access. There are also public beaches and it is still possible, away from the hotels and coastal roads, to find secluded stretches of sand.
