en Flac | Ile Aux Cerfs ..Ile Aux Cerfs .The small island of Ile aux Cerfs (Stag
Island) off the east coast of Mauritius is a popular tourist haven, managed by the
adjacent Touessrok Hotel, but open to the public. The island, featuring splendid
tropical vegetation and encircled by magnificent beaches, can be reached by boat
from the small fishing village of Trou d'eau Douce. ..The island is equipped with
a bar, restaurant and shops, as well as watersports facilities from parasailing
to windsurfing. The most recent, and somewhat controversial, development on the
island is an 18-hole Bernhard Langer designed championship golf course which affords
a sea view from each hole and often requires the novelty of hitting a tee-shot over
a natural sea inlet onto the fairway. ..Trou aux Biches beach .Mauritius' best beach
considering sand quality, weather conditions and available facilities is probably
Trou aux Biches [Deer Watering Hole], on the north west of the island. The beach
is at least 2km long, with powder white sand, tho' sprinkled with bigger coral pieces
near the water line...It has guest houses, a small hotel and public access at the
south end, a superb and not ridiculously priced first-class resort hotel unobtrusively
occupying much of the rest, with a few more establishments at the inferior and rocky
north end. The smart hotel is called the Trou aux Biches Hotel and is especially
good value out of season when clouds hover a few hours a day and nights get chilly.
..Mont Choisy .Stretching from Trou aux Biches to the Club Med in Pointe aux Canonniers
(towards Grand Bay) is Mont Choisy, the largest and longest public beach in Mauritius.
Its white band of powder sand, more than a mile long, curves along its turquoise
bay and the inviting shade of the casuarina trees. At the end of this popular beach
is Pte aux Cannonniers home to the Club Med as well as a couple of well known hotels.
Mont Choisy villas and bungalows are close enough to the tourists hub of Grand Bay
to be accessible on foot, by car or public transport but far enough to enjoy peace
of mind and privacy sought by most visitors. ...Grand Bay .The northern coastline
beyond Baie du Tombeau has many delightful beaches: Pointe aux Piments, famous for
its underwater scenery; Trou aux Biches, with its fringe of filaos (casuarina) and
coconut palms and its splendid Hindu temple; further up the coast, Choisy, one of
the most popular beaches on the island, offering facilities for safe bathing, sailing,
windsurfing and water-skiing; finally, the coastline curves into Grand Baie itself,
the main centre for yachting, water-skiing, windsurfing and many other sports. ...Péreybère
.This delightful little cove is midway on the coast road between Grand Baie and
Cap Malheureux. The deep, clear water makes it one of the very best bathing places
on the whole island. ..Cap Malheureux .This is a fishing village in the extreme
north, with a magnificent view of Flat Island, Round Island and Gunner's Quoin,
which are islands of volcanic origin, rising from the light-green sea. ..Grand Gaube
.Further along the coast is another charming fishing village where fishermen have
earned a well-deserved reputation for their skill in the making of sailing craft
and of deep-sea fishing. ..Roches Noires / Poste Lafayette .These are both favoured
seaside resorts, especially in the hotter months, because of the fresh prevailing
winds that blow almost all the year round from the sea. ..Belle Mare .A beautiful
white sandy beach with fine bathing is found here. The coast, with its white sweep
of sands at Palmar and Trou d'Eau Douce, stretches out lazily to Grand Port, a quaint
little village by the sea. There, the beach narrows and the road follows the coastline
closely to Mahébourg. Pointe d'Esny, the adjoining white sandy beach with its string
of bungalows, leads to Blue Bay. ....Blue Bay .In a semicircle of filao trees lies
one of the finest bathing spots on the island. Situated on the southeast coast,
not far from Mahébourg, Blue Bay offers a fine stretch of white sandy beach, and
a deep, clear, light-blue bathing pool. There is also scope for yachting and windsurfing
...Tamarin .Lying in the shadow of the Rivière Noire Mountains, Tamarin has a fine
lagoon which is split in two by the Rivière Noire estuary. The bathing at this point
is a big attraction, and amenities for surfing in the big ocean swells are available.
..Flic en Flac beach .Many of Mauritius' best beaches, whilst not exactly reserved
by five star hotels - which would be illegal as all beaches in the country are public
- are not easy to get onto as you have to approach along an adjacent beach or via
a boat and would find no public facilities available when you got there...Flic en
Flac, however, offers an easily reached, long public stretch of powder white sand
and calm, shallow, reef-protected water, backed by the ubiquitous casuarina trees
[which whilst offering shade, do drop pointy seed pods that can be a pain]. The
surrounding area may have become overdeveloped for some tastes but does, at least,
offer the humble independent traveller a variety of guest houses, small hotels,
shops, bars and restaurants at budget prices. ..Flic en Flac beach is also arguably
drier than Mauritius' other best beach, the more northerly Trou aux Biches, and
certainly drier than the best east coast beach, Belle Mare
