Ronde.
Cap Malheureux

located on the furthest north tip of Mauritius. Cap Malheureux offers a
magnificent view of some of the small islands off the coast. Among others, Ile
Plate, famous for its lighthouse; Ile Ronde, inhabited only by palm trees,
harmless boas and indigenous lizards; Ile aux Serpents, which, despite its name,
is not infested with snakes; and Coin de Mire, an enormous rock of historical
importance, since it was from there that the English secretly embarked on
September 2, 1810 to win over the island from the French
Mont
Choisy
Mont Choisy is situated on the northern coastline, and is one of
the best beaches around. Locals enjoy spending the weekend there, relaxing in
the sun, enjoying the sea and playing soccer on an adjacent field. The entrance
to the beach is guarded by a monument, commemorating the first airlink between
Mauritius and Reunion Island on September 10, 1933, undertaken by a Frenchman by
the name of Sutel, and a Mauritian, Jean Hily. The latter unfortunately lost his
life on the second attempt held on October 4,
1934.

Pointe-aux-Piments, is a short stretch of public beach l. Trou-aux-Biches is a
cozy white sandy beach, with blue waters and lazy filao trees to match.

yourself with the Mauritian marine life. The splendid Hindu Temple across from
Trou aux Biches stands in sweet contrast to the heavenly emerald-green waters
and white sandy beach background.
Flic-en-Flac
The name Flic en
Flac is thought to come from the old Dutch name, ‘Fried Landt Flaak’, or ‘Free
and Flat Land’. Flic en Flac, off the Port Louis-Tamarin road, lies at the
bottom of a 3Km straight road running through cane fields. It is not as cute and
carefree as its name suggests. Rather, it is an increasingly busy holiday
village that lies and relies on a great stretch of beach, and caters for the
middle range in the market rather than the budget level, which prefers Tamarin.
Tamarin
This is the surfing centre of Mauritius, although you can
go for weeks without seeing a surfer. The character of the place is more
laid-back than Flic en Flac and rougher around the edges. It has a good beach
and is well situated for most of the other sights. Salt evaporation ponds
encircle the village. Tamarin Bay Beach - This is a small public beach with good
views across the river estuary to Montage du Rempart.

Bay

coast, is the next best thing after paradise. The island features vast beaches
fringed with palm trees, and clear waters. There is no need to leave this paradise island since it has all you
need, including restaurants and water sports facilities. Restaurants and other
services are housed in small exotic kiosks, with straw roofs. Tourists can
access IIe aux Cerfs by getting onto one of the small boats at Pointe Maurice.

distance from Ile aux Cerfs is Le Touessrok, one of the oldest five-star hotels
on the island.
