10. Gris Gris Beach

The Gris Gris Beach is one of the wider parts of the Mauritius beaches and is surrounded by black volcanic rocks. The beach is quite rough, and so it is not suitable for any water sport. The water of this place is quite rough and turbulent; hence it is considered to be a better picnic spot.

11. La Cambuse

If you are an adventurous person and a good swimmer, then it is recommended to include a trip to the beautiful La Cambuse public beach in your Mauritius Holidays package. This destination is located to the east of the airport. The tranquil expanse of dusty white sand and appealing clear water is amazing for a refreshing dip, but is a little deceiving: the currents at this place can be powerful; therefore it is recommended for competent, confident swimmers only.

Make sure that your Mauritius Tourism plan factors in these incredible beaches.
