Mauritius has it all ways- it can be the peaceful haven that some seek or the perfect romantic getaway that couples seek not to mention how it is also capable to snap back to being a destination for a laid back vacation or even the perfect snorkelling destination should you wish it to be- read on to know more!
The beach of Trou Aux Biches is one that is stunning and is all about a natural charm in its ways. Encapsulated by groovy casuarina plantations all around, this white sandy beach has idyllic shallow waters and coral reefs making it the best possible place you can imagine to snorkel at. Make yourself at home (or heaven) engaging in this super thrilling activity and be mesmerized by the shawls of bright and colourful fish swim by not to mention the extraordinary coral and other marine creatures that flock by!
Renowned as the longest beach of the island, Flic En Flac is yet another great place to try out snorkelling in Mauritius. The waters are calm and shallow around here and are rich with a vivacious abundance of marine creatures such as the blue-tarred parrotfish, white-spotted boxfish and even the striped Moorish idol. You can take us up on our word- the amazing marine life that you will witness when snorkelling around in Flic En Flac are just as dramatically beautiful as their names make them out to be!
Tucked away in all its serenity in the north-western coast of Mauritius, the Pointe Au Piments is an stunning location where you can peacefully be wandering betwixt two worlds- the underwater and the overwater! Just as amazing at this spot is for snorkelling and spotting all sorts of marine royalty including (but not limited to) the playful sea turtles, this is also a splendid location for sunbathing, leisure walks, picnics and some killer sundowners! Of course, when the views are as staggering as those of Pointe Aux Piments, would you even think twice to lie here all day long?
This masterpiece of a beach is surrounded by white dunes and a breath-taking turquoise blue lagoon all around and believe us when we say that sighing in disbelief is the first thing you are bound to do when you lay your eyes on this beaut! Come on down to the Ile Aux Cerfs stretch to indulge in some serene underwater views and spot some exotic marine species such as the blacktip groupers, blue stripe snappers and even the sunbream! Some of the most famed Mauritius Island Hotels, for instance, such as The Residence Mauritius by Cenizaro are located within close vicinity to the Ile Aux Cerfs island.
Last (but not by any means) is the Blue Bay Marine Park. Now, this, we imagine, is what the gateway to heaven looks like if one thing as that exists. Situated in the South-eastern corner of the island, this sprawling marine diversity park has got to be one of the most famous spots for snorkelling in Mauritius. The waters are so shallow that it makes for the perfect spot for beginners and first-timers to get into their grove! Forget not your underwater cameras on your visit to this beach!
