Mauritius is located in the Indian Ocean. The island itself is of volcanic origin and was once uninhabited a long time ago. Then the Dutch, British, Indians, French mastered it.

Therefore, communication problems with local residents will not be.

Nudism is prohibited in Mauritius. Jet sky is prohibited in Mauritius
Mauritius is a volcanic island surrounded by a reef, almost around the circumference of the island.
Conifers (casuarines) grow practically along the entire coast, and not palms, as we often imagine.
The coastline is about 330km., but not all beaches are designed for swimming.

East Coast

The sand is continuously circulated by the current, it washes it, makes it snow-white, then carries it to the north, west and south. That is why, while on the beaches of the east, we see such blinding sandy coasts.

There are long beaches stretching for kilometers, tranquil lagoons, protected mangrove thickets and pristine reef zones.
The distance from the runner to the reef line is wide enough.
Beaches east coast: Blue Bay, Belle Mare, Palmar, L "île aux Cerfs, La Pointe d" Esny, Post Lafayette, Roche Noir.

Blue bay

This is a beach in a protected marine park area. It is the blue of the Blue Bay that will catch your eye first, as soon as you set foot on Mauritius, as the beach is very close to the airport. One of the most recommended snorkeling spots. It will be interesting for both couples and families with children from 6 years old. From here many sea water routes, in particular the unforgettable Aquasoleil boat trip. A fantastic place for those looking for privacy is Ile aux deux Cocos (private island with a spacious mansion).

Ile aux Cerfs

One of the most large islands on the east coast. There is a golf course on the island (the 18-hole golf course belongs to Shangri La Les Touessrok), infrastructure with sun loungers, centers water sports, 3 Beachfront Restaurants, Bars, and Adventure Park.
In the water sports centers you can find parasailing, water skiing, wakeboarding, banana rides and more.

You can visit the island as part of a water excursion on a catamaran / yacht / motor boat or go there for the whole day.
Recommended: Avoid weekends, it may be a little crowded.

Belle mare plage

Almost 10km beach. Most famous on the east coast, and deservedly one of the most best beaches Mauritius.
It contains many hotels ranging from 3 * to 5 * +. It is rarely crowded here, even if many tourists decide to immediately soak up the beach, you can always find your corner. Beautiful place to meet the sunrise and take a memorable photo session.
We recommend this place for families with small children, fine sand and a gentle entrance, provides safe rest.
Snorkeling right from the shore is not very pronounced, you need to sail on boats with a transparent bottom to the reef line. There are also many options for diving:

North coast

Being very winding, it offers many small bays, lagoons, beaches, one more beautiful than the other. The beaches of the northern islets such as Ile aux Gabriel are also very popular. As the most populous and infrastructurally developed part of the island, the north and its beaches are often open to the public, and the coastline is littered with hotels for all tastes and budgets, from miniature 3 * to luxurious 5 deluxe, self catering accommodation options.
North beaches: Anse La Raie, Bain Boeuf, Calodyne, Cap Malheureux, Grande Gaube, Grand bay public beach, La Cuvette, Mont Choisy, Péreybère, Point Aux Piment, Pointe Aux Canonniers, Poudre D’or, Trou aux Biches

Grand bay

The bay itself with the beach area should not be considered for swimming, because the entire lagoon is dotted with boats, yachts and boats. But the color of the water is bright azure, alluring. For a swim, consider the nearby beaches of La Cuvette or Péreybère. But know, the places are quite crowded, filled with both vacationers and locals. If you are looking for silence and solitude, this is not the best place... The bay is the starting point for trophy fishing, diving, boat trips to the islands or evening cruises.

Trou aux biches

2 km long beach, ideal for family vacation(including families with small children). Good for snorkeling.
It will appeal to those who like to walk along the coast, especially in the pre-sunset time.

Turtle bay

Although this area is a protected marine park, it is not famous for ideal swimming conditions. Rocky entrance possible, safety footwear recommended. Resting on the coast with children, you need to be careful. The area will be interesting for those who like snorkelling (snorkeling). Here you can enjoy tranquility and privacy. We recommend this area for couples who like to explore the island more than relaxing on the beach, and for those who value quality hotel service.

West Coast

The coastline is quite flat, without sharp bays and bays, as in the north. Lots of conifers. The distance from the coastline to the reef line is much narrower than in the east (approximately twice).
West Beaches: Albion, Flic En Flac, La Preneuse, Le Morne Brabant, Point aux Sables, Tamarin, Tombeau Bay

Flic en FlaC

It is considered perhaps the longest beach on the island. It contains and public beach(where locals rest), and a part that is given to the hotels. Those who do not like to lie under the sultry scorching sun can always take refuge under the shade of coniferous trees. Snokling by the sea is unlikely here, it is better to go by boat to the reef line. In high tides, you can do long heats for those who like to set records.

Le morne

Perhaps the most landscaped beach in Mauritius, which is constantly cultivated by the postcard publishers of Mauritius. The place is truly magical, as everyone who has been there is convinced. The extraordinary azure of the water can be seen for kilometers before reaching the peninsula. And the whiteness of the sand is simply enchanting. Ocean water caresses softly and gently, but the closer you get to the One Eye Spot, the stronger the power of the ocean is felt. Not surprisingly, thanks to the "roaring forties" (these are strong winds that blow in the Southern Hemisphere in the 40s latitudes) ideal conditions for kite and wind surfing, at this point in Mauritius. Therefore, if you come with children to Le Morne, it is better to relax in 2/3 of the peninsula away from the spot (there are plenty of hotels here), and closer to the spot it is better to live for couples or fans of these sports.

For lovers of ordinary surfing, it is better to pay attention to Tamarin Beach, located between Flic en Flac and Le Morne.

South coast

The most remote and quiet. Ideal for those seeking solitude and nature enjoyment. There are few swimming beaches here due to the fact that the reef line is partially cut off, revealing the power of the ocean.
South beaches: St Félix, Riviere des Galets and Gris Gris.

St. Felix Beach

A very remote and quiet beach. You shouldn't come here to swim, it's shallow, the corals are protruding, but it's worth coming to listen to the silence, soak up the sun, or have a picnic. Whales can also be seen in the area.

GriS GriS Beach

There are swimming beaches, but Gris Gris is not one of them. A formidable sign will warn you that swimming is prohibited. However, we recommend that you visit here, but not to splash in the water, but to look at the true nature of the ocean, think, meditate, reflect on the eternal, stand under a fountain of splashing waves when you walk on a weeping rock ('la roche qui pleure' (the Weeping Rock) Of course, you will want to take some memorable photos, do not resist this desire, or better yet, book a photo shoot with a professional photographer.Staying at Gris Gris beach perfectly fits into the logistics of other must-see excursion sites in the south.

Thanks to the warm climate, the tourist season on the island lasts all year round.

High season in Mauritius

The peak influx of tourists is observed in the period from November to April. This is an active season when about 1 million tourists arrive on the island. The UK, China, France and Germany are the key countries providing the main foreign traffic. Russia is not the last on this list: the number of our compatriots this year has reached 19.5 thousand people. All of them are united by a weakness for impeccable service, comfort and elite rest... During the New Year period, the island's airport operates in an enhanced mode. Those wishing to mark winter holidays there is a lot on the ocean shore under the rays of the tropical sun, despite the fact that the prices for vouchers during this period of time skyrocket, and it rains from time to time. As a rule, the highest density of holidaymakers is observed on the northern and western coasts of Mauritius, where the most luxurious hotel complexes and the sun shines all year round.

Low season in Mauritius

The policy of Mauritius does not provide for the construction of budget hotels or boarding houses on the island, the main goal of the government is to preserve the ecology of the island and make sure that tourists do not rest in a crowd. Rooms in luxury hotels are never idle. However, you can still relax with a more modest budget. For example, by planning a trip to low season... In June and July, the weather is darkened by gusty winds, but May, August and September are a great time to save a little, because during this period there are not many tourists on the island, and hoteliers give some relief to prices. And if, in addition, you do not tolerate the heat and general turmoil, consider that these dates are the only ideal option for you.

The best time for excursions

Theoretically, the island can be crossed on foot in 24 hours, but the sights of Mauritius are so impressive that it can take several days to explore them: colorful churches and Hindu temples, ancient castles and ancient ruins, botanical gardens and protected areas. And this is not the whole list of what the island can boast of. Best time his studies are from September to December and from April to May, when the most peaceful climatic conditions... Bottled water, a hat, and sturdy footwear to protect your feet from coral debris on some beaches are what a trip to Mauritius will not be comfortable without.

Beach season in Mauritius

Beach holidays are the main component of package tours to Mauritius. And not without reason, because thanks to its protection along the entire coast with coral reefs and a wonderful climate, the swimming season here can last 365 days a year. The minimum water temperature in the Maurian winter is +23 ° C, while the air warms up to +25 .. + 27 ° C during the day. In climatic summer, the ocean becomes even warmer - within +27 .. + 28 ° C.

The best time for a "seal" holiday on the coast is from November to January and from April to May, during this period the weather is rather hot, but due to the constantly blowing southeast trade winds, it is not exhausting at all. If you prefer peace and quiet, you can safely take tickets for the first half of the calendar autumn or the last month of spring. At the same time, it is worth knowing that seclusion can also be found in the high beach season, it is enough just to go to the western part of Mauritius.

Diving season

Diving in Mauritius is truly fun. In turquoise strata Indian Ocean a wide variety of tropical flora and fauna is represented: barracudas, blue marlin, sea eagles, giant turtles, whitetip sharks, thickets of gargonaria, coral gardens, etc. Continuous coral reefs form safe lagoons for diving not only during the day, but also at night ... Diving from the outside of the reefs, beyond the so-called "perimeter", is no less exciting. There are huge marble caves, rocky plateaus and underwater grottoes, but the current in such places is very strong, so without an instructor, diving can end in disaster. In total, the island has up to 30 specialized dive centers. The most popular dive sites are to be found in the southeastern and northern parts of the island. By the way, the east coast is interesting for fans of wreck diving. The most favorable time for diving is from September to January, when the water temperature is from + 23 ° C to 27 ° C, and the visibility reaches 20 m.In some years this period is sometimes extended due to December and March, but sometimes during this period time storms happen.

For foreigners and Russian-speaking tourists, special camps are organized from time to time. In principle, beginners on "training waves" can surf, kite and windsurf all year round. However, for seasoned athletes, it is best to travel to Mauritius between November and April and between June and July (a wetsuit may be required). It is safest to ride during high tide, provided there are no strong underwater currents.

Fishing season

Deep sea fishing is probably the most popular activity in Mauritius after swimming and languid reclining on the silky sands. The exotic catch is always impressive: blue marlin, gray-blue shark, yellowfin tuna, barracuda and many other "trophy" fish. In principle, fishing is possible at any time of the year, but the best bite is from September to April / May. For especially gambling tourists, it is possible to participate in mini-tournaments for the fastest deep-sea fishing, in which up to 4 teams are usually involved. But professional competition can only be enjoyed as a spectator: in December-March, the Marlin World Cup, the most prestigious international competition, takes place here.

Newlyweds come here to have an unforgettable Honeymoon, and the spouses "with experience" - in order to refresh the relationship by arranging a romantic for themselves in the form of a symbolic wedding ceremony.

The annual course of temperatures is quite even, the only thing is that in the period from April to November the average daily indicators are a couple of degrees lower than from October to May. Humidity levels are quite high, especially during the rainy season from December to May and from June to August. Rainstorms are strong enough, but their duration is short. At this time, cyclones come to the island, which often cause storms. The weather tends to change several times a day, however, in general, the climate of the island is quite favorable - if only because there are no active volcanoes, the prevailing cyclones do not have destructive power, and tsunamis do not occur at all.

Until mid-late April, rainy weather prevails in Mauritius. The western and northern regions of the island, in contrast to the southern ones, are least affected by tropical cyclones. The humidity level is as high as in winter, but the air temperatures become more moderate and the UV index drops slightly. Nevertheless, one should not think that cloudiness prevails on the island in spring. The nature of the weather is very unstable, so in one day you can witness rain, gray clouds, and a clear blue sky with a piercingly bright sun.

The first two months are characterized by not very pleasant weather. The reigning cyclones provoke strong winds, which are quite cool. And it can be very difficult to get into the water. Basically all swimming comes down to jumping on the waves. However, this is not the only reason why most of the island's beaches are empty. The water temperature drops to +23 .. + 24 ° C, and when it is very windy it is chilly to leave the ocean. It does not do "in winter" and without precipitation, the smallest portion of which falls on August. As a rule, the central mountainous plateau and the south of the island "get" to a greater extent.

The island of Mauritius, where we were lucky enough to spend two unforgettable weeks on the May holidays this year, it is almost 320 km of stunning beaches. How to navigate in such a variety? I am telling you about those public beaches that I managed to visit personally. All of them are located on the west coast (we did not reach the east of the island this time), so from each of them you can admire the amazing Mauritian sunsets when the sun literally "falls" into the Indian Ocean.

BeachBain Boeuf

Located on the northwest coast, not far from the extreme north point islands (Cap Malheureux). A spacious public beach, on weekends, like all other beaches in Mauritius, it is quite crowded. There are sun loungers for rent, fast food kiosks, toilets and changing rooms. The beach offers stunning views of the islands of Coin de Mire, Ile Plate and Ile ot Gabriel located to the north of Mauritius.

BeachPereybere

Located south of Bain Boeuf beach. A small but very cozy beach with all the necessary beach infrastructure and a wide selection of cafes and restaurants nearby. The only thing is that they did not notice the sunbeds and umbrellas: the locals prefer to use their own equipment. There are several diving clubs nearby.

BeachLa Cuvette

Nice public beach next to the yacht marina, casino and the most expensive and prestigious hotel in Mauritius - "Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury". One of the cutest and cozy beaches on the west coast of the island.

BeachGrand Baie

Although on the maps the beach located in the Grand Bay itself (Grand Baie, in French) is designated as a public beach, we had no desire to swim here: literally ten meters from the beach there is a busy highway, and Grand Bay is filled with boats , catamarans and other floating facilities.

And located here, right by the beach, the mini-fishing market with its smells discourages the desire to relax nearby.

BeachMont Choisy

A fairly long and well-equipped public beach near the Grand Bay. Traditionally deserted on weekdays and crowded on weekends, when Mauritians and their families choose to relax on the ocean.

BeachTrou aux Biches

The main advantage of this beach is amazing quiet rest on a narrow but extended (more than 3 km long) strip of white sand. Its great advantage is that the road is far away, and the noise of cars does not bother you. The beach is equipped with everything you need for a great holiday.

BeachFlic-en-Flac

The beach is located in the second, after Grand Bay, tourist village with many cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. Quite a wide and picturesque strip of white sand. An interesting feature: you look in one direction - conifers, in the other direction - palms. There are sun loungers and parasols for rent, toilet, shower and changing rooms. But we didn't like swimming here too much: a large amount was found in the water. sea urchins and sharp pieces of coral. For those who swim with a mask, it is not a big problem, but for the rest, not to mention small children, the beach is hardly suitable.

BeachLe Morne

Wonderful beach at the foot of Le Morne Brabant mountain. The snow-white sand, smooth entry into the water, the availability of beach infrastructure and the absence of sea urchins in the water have made it one of our favorite beaches in Mauritius.

The water here is amazingly clear and felt warmer than other beaches. One more interesting feature- only on the Le Morne beach we felt a rather fast current along the coast.

Beach at Cape Gris-Gri (Gris— Gris) - the extreme southern point of the island

They don't swim here. At the entrance to the beach, there is a sign warning that swimming here is life-threatening. However, the beach itself is beautiful! A visit to this place has become for us one of the most memorable moments in Mauritius. Only here on the island can you feel the true power of the Indian Ocean: from all other sides Mauritius is reliably protected by a ring of reefs, and ocean waves can be seen and heard only on Gris-Gris. But this is definitely worth doing - I am sure that the ocean element will not leave anyone indifferent!
