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.
