Among others, Ile Plate, famous for its lighthouse; Ile Ronde, inhabited only by palm trees, harmless boas and indigenous lizards; Ile aux Serpents, which, despite its name, is not infested with snakes; and Coin de Mire, an enormous rock of historical importance, since it was from there that the English secretly embarked on September 2, 1810 to win over the island from the French

The splendid Hindu Temple across from Trou aux Biches stands in sweet contrast to the heavenly emerald-green waters and white sandy beach background.

Flic-en-Flac

The name Flic en Flac is thought to come from the old Dutch name, 'Fried Landt Flaak', or 'Free and Flat Land'. Flic en Flac, off the Port Louis-Tamarin road, lies at the bottom of a 3Km straight road running through cane fields. It is not as cute and carefree as its name suggests. Rather, it is an increasingly busy holiday village that lies and relies on a great stretch of beach, and caters for the middle range in the market rather than the budget level, which prefers Tamarin.

Tamarin

This is the surfing centre of Mauritius, although you can go for weeks without seeing a surfer. The character of the place is more laid-back than Flic en Flac and rougher around the edges. It has a good beach and is well situated for most of the other sights. Salt evaporation ponds encircle the village. Tamarin Bay Beach - This is a small public beach with good views across the river estuary to Montage du Rempart.

Blue Bay

Blue Bay is the official public beach closest to Mahebourg.
