The beautiful island nation of Mauritius is home to some of the most fascinating beaches in the world. These beaches, framed by the coconut palms and casuarinas trees, more commonly known as Filao trees are perfect for an idyllic vacation. Most of the beaches, except the ones in south of Mauritius are protected by the fringing coral reefs. Hence most of the beaches are in the form of sparkling lagoons and are sheltered, calm and peaceful all through the year. Some of the beautiful and oft visited beaches of Mauritius are the Blue Bay that is a very popular long beach with white sand and crystal-clear ice blue water that is most suited for sailing, surfing and snorkeling and the Péreybère beach that is popular with tourists and Mauritians alike for its delightful little cove that is one of the best bathing places on the whole island. The northern coastline of Grand Baie is one long stretch that is replete with numerous delightful beaches and spots for safe bathing, sailing, windsurfing and water skiing. It is the prime centre for water sport activities in Mauritius and also has lots of shops and restaurants. |
