One of the most exotic beach destinations is Mauritius. Perhaps what makes these beaches so attractive is that they are so difficult to get to. Like gold, once you find it, you will have an experience not many people have gone through.
Mauritius is located north of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Indian Ocean. A few islands; a main island and three other islands, and about 22 largely uninhabited islands makes up this tropical paradise
Once a volcano and already extinct for some 100,000 years, you have peaks and rock strutting right down into the sea in Mauritius. And, as if icing on the wondrous landscape, a coral reef environs the islands.
Clear warm ocean water and endless white sea beaches, Mauritius fulfills a tropical dream. Its magnanimous lagoons stretched with fine white sand are the quintessence of paradise to those who want to enjoy the sea or just a enjoy in the sun. All around the paradise, large strips of open public beaches offer insurmountable relaxing moments during the week and great opportunities to mingle with the locals at weekends.
The North is famous for its water sports such as water skiing, windsurfing , sailing , deep sea fishing, and para sailing. In the evenings, with a view on the sunset, the trendy bars, restaurants and clubs buzz with life.
The East is wilder and less developed, offering a spectacle of nature. The white beaches of Palmar and Belle Mare stretch endlessly along the coast, fringed on one side by the shady green casuarinas trees and edged by the lagoon on the other.
The South East is known for its high cliffs which provide for a picturesque sight as you go round the southern tip of the island. Here the breaks in the reef allow the open sea to come right up to the land, crushing against the rocks creating a craggy and dramatic coastline.
Enjoy magnificent sunsets and deep sea fishing along the West coast. Surfers should head for Tamarind, which is the surf centre of Mauritius There, beginners can come to grip with the basics of surfing at the surf school.
