Mauritius boasts more than 330 kilometres of coastline, with landscapes straight out of a postcard. In total, there are over a hundred beaches to discover, each more beautiful than the last.
To help you plan your itinerary, MJ Développement Mauritius has put together a top 10 list of the island’s most beautiful beaches that you simply cannot miss during your stay in Mauritius.
The Morne beach
An absolute must-see, Le Morne Beach lies beneath the majestic Le Morne Brabant, an imposing mountain rising to 550 metres. The scenery leaves a lasting impression and perfectly embodies the iconic image of Mauritius.
Stretching for nearly 4 kilometres, the golden sand borders rows of casuarina trees and turquoise waters, with the UNESCO World Heritage mountain providing a spectacular backdrop.
Our favourite feature: the lush vegetation surrounding the beach, which enhances the site’s natural beauty.
Tamarin beach
Located on the west coast, Tamarin Beach is a favourite among surfers eager to ride its famous left-hand wave, known locally as “La Dalle”. Experienced surfers enjoy excellent conditions here, while beginners can safely learn with the nearby surf schools.
Beyond surfing, this Mauritian beach is ideal for a seaside stroll or admiring the sunset in an unspoilt natural setting.
Our favourite feature: the unique scenery, worthy of a postcard!
Discover Eko Savannah, located just moments from Tamarin Beach.
Blue bay beach
South of Mahébourg, Blue Bay captivates visitors with its crystal-clear lagoon and vibrant reefs protected within the Blue Bay Marine Park. A few unspoilt islets dot the horizon, adding to the authenticity of the setting.
Part of the shoreline, lined with elegant villas, gives the area a refined atmosphere reminiscent of some of the world’s most sought-after seaside resorts.
Our favourite feature: the brightly coloured fish swimming among the coral reefs.
Pointe d’esny beach
Just a short distance from the village of Mahébourg, Pointe d’Esny Beach stretches along a long strip of pale sand gently brushed by the trade winds.
More peaceful than neighbouring beaches, this Mauritian beach has preserved its authentic and uncrowded atmosphere. Its vast, crystal-clear lagoon is perfect for both kitesurfing enthusiasts and snorkelling lovers. Here, the sea reveals all its purity, far from the hustle and bustle.
Our favourite feature: the unobstructed view of Île aux Aigrettes just offshore.
Île aux cerfs beach
Off the coast of Trou d’Eau Douce, Île aux Cerfs can only be reached by boat. Surrounded by an exceptionally clear lagoon, it offers scenery that looks as though it has come straight from a travel brochure. White sand and shallow waters create the perfect setting for relaxation or a wide range of water sports.
Whether you prefer lounging on the sand, canoeing or paddleboarding, everyone can enjoy this idyllic setting during their holiday in Mauritius!
Our favourite feature: the luminous turquoise waters, whose intensity sets this beach apart from all the others.
Flic-en-flac beach
With its wide stretch of sand shaded by casuarina trees, this Mauritian beach is one of the most popular on the island. Residents and holidaymakers gather here in a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
Throughout the day, groups of friends, street vendors, families and sports enthusiasts share the shoreline until sunset. It is an ideal spot for a day by the sea, especially with children.
Our advice: bring suitable water shoes, as the coral in some areas can make entering the water less comfortable.

Belle mare beach
Facing the north-east coast, Belle Mare Beach unfolds along a vast expanse of pale sand and is considered the longest beach on the island. During the week, tranquillity reigns and the scenery feels almost untouched. At weekends, however, the atmosphere becomes livelier as families gather for picnics beneath the casuarina trees.
Kitesurfing enthusiasts also appreciate the beach for its consistent winds and excellent conditions.
Our favourite feature: the graceful rows of casuarina trees lining the beach and shaping the landscape.
Trou aux biches beach
Soft sand, calm waters and protective casuarina trees: this renowned Mauritian beach has everything needed for a perfect seaside escape. Located on the north-west coast, it stretches for nearly 3 kilometres along a lagoon sheltered by the coral reef.
Snorkelling enthusiasts will also find plenty to explore thanks to the presence of wrecks, rocky areas and gently sloping seabeds teeming with marine life.
Our favourite feature: the safe swimming conditions, making it an excellent beach for families with children.
Pereybère beach
Away from the large tourist resorts, Pereybère Beach appeals to both families and travellers looking for an affordable getaway. Relaxing on the sand, snorkelling in clear waters and enjoying an authentic Mauritian atmosphere are all part of daily life on this lively beach.
Following the coastal path towards Pointe d’Azur, visitors can admire the silhouette of Coin de Mire Island on the horizon.
Our favourite feature: the food trucks by the sea, perfect for a delicious break overlooking the lagoon.
Mont choisy beach
North of Trou aux Biches, Mont Choisy Beach forms a broad crescent of sand lined with casuarina trees and facing calm waters. Shaded and relatively unspoilt, this Mauritian beach is among the most beautiful beaches close to Grand Baie.
At its southern end, a small temple dedicated to Kali and Ganesh adds a cultural and spiritual dimension to the landscape.
Our favourite feature: the vibrant sunsets, whose colours create unforgettable memories.
