This beach is rightly considered one of the most beautiful on the island. Beside the private stretches of beach occupied by the resorts there are quite a few bits of free each. On the beach you can practice lots of sports, specially diving is recommended as in certain periods of the year the pass of fishes is excellent right around... More

Le Morne Beach is in a peninsula where the weather conditions favour surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing. It has the right type of water breaks and windy conditions. Public beach access is available but the best spots are through hotel grounds. On my day of visit the wind and rain was lashing down on Le Morne beach, me and my camera definitely... More

it is very pitoresque! Most of it is in hotel property so securit guards will chase you off long chairs if you dont stay at the hotels. But there are several sections that are public. at the very end close to the Club mistral you can go kite ( or normal) surfing. The Le morne brabant is also adding to... More

Le Morne Beach is very pretty, reminded us a bit of Heron Island on the great barrier reef in places. However, the only part you can safely swim is on the posh hotel's bit and they have buoys close to the shore so no good for snorkelling. Worth a stop for photos if you are in the area.

It's an imressive beach embedded in a beautifula landscape but the public beach is reduced to a minimum. Best beach access have guests staying at the St. Regis Resort and Paradise Hotel.

This is definitely the most beautiful beach on the island. Relatively far for tourists without a rented car, and relatively far for native people also. So the beach is almost like private, there is a bunch of highly rated hotel complexes, but the visitors stick to the swimming pools in those hotels, so you can enjoy the beach just for... More

Just remember that whilst all beaches in Mauritius are public, the fancy resort hotels employ sucurity guards to keep you off their part, so check to see where you can get access (fairly obvious) and don't think of putting your towel down in the less public parts! The swimming is good, by the way!

nice place, though a little dangerous for inexperienced kite surfers, around the corner is a great lagoon for the beginners, but no beach worth speaking of. All the good cheap beach eats are on the trunks around the kite/wind surfer spots.

The beaches on the SW end of the Island are my favourite - deep enough for swimming, secluded, scenic and not as crowded (kind of more exclusive) as those on the east or north coast -either with fellow tourist or with local trades people. Lots of fun sea activities can be paid for at the Le Morne, Les Pavillons Hotel.... More
