Belle Mare Plage Beach

The Belle Mare Plage beach is surrounded by a very shallow lagoon, with coral reefs completely enclosing the lagoon off from the bay, thus resulting in calm, clear water that is extremely safe for swimming in, creating the ideal family beach for families with kids. The shallow bay also provides for a fantastic snorkelling experience, an activity for which the beach is extremely well known not only on the eastern side of the island but across the whole of Mauritius as well.

Its soft white sand characterizes the Belle Mare Plage beach, but tourists who have been to the beach say with conviction that the quality of the sand differs at different places along the beach, with the southern parts having softer sand than the northern regions, where the sand tends to be bit coarser.

The beach might seem to be noisy due to motorboats, yet this 10km long beach offers beautiful pristine sand to stroll. You can reach this place easily through a taxi. The strong currents of the beach make it unfavorable for swimming into deep waters. The perfect breeze on Belle Mare Plage makes it an excellent location for windsurfing and sailing. Weekdays are the right time to go to this place as weekends are overcrowded with locals. The beach is known for its combination of colors. Walking and jogging along the shore is a treat to you. Windsurfing, sailing, and resting in the resorts are must-do. A floating restaurant, Barachois, serves delicious desserts in its pretty restaurant.
