This morning I waited on a quiet hillside, enveloped by the cool dawn air. The sky was gradually lighting up, with touches of gold and pink touching the horizon. The silence was deep, broken only by the distant cry of a bird. When the sun finally rose, spreading light and warmth, it felt like a personal celebration of the start of a new day.

It's part of our Wild South tour. We stopped for a while at the cliff here. We could oversee the beach down there. The wind was severe, so did the waves, no water sports or activities were seen.
I think I could keep watching and feeling this place at this south tip of the Mauritius island for an hour. Too bad we stayed for about 20 mins only and had to move on to other places.

Once parked you are carried away by the spectacle of nature. Light, wind, waves and beach, here is a fairytale set of what Mauritius can also offer. We do not swim but we walk at least to the Rock that cries to enjoy this raw beauty a little more.

Gris Gris is the kind of place where you’d stop to admire the view for a few minutes, take some pictures and be on your way. What’s great about it is that you can have a view from above on the beach to take pictures! It’s really nice to the eye but not a beach where you would want to spend the day. It is quite windy and the sea is pretty agitated there. If you’re looking for a beautiful beach to lay on in the South we recommend you have a look at St Felix.

Visited Gris Gris several times over the years but not recently until now and it never changes.
There's a break in the reef here and the waves are quite spectacular.
On a wet grey day you can believe it does have connotations with black magic as people say it does.
There's a path down to the beach but we didn't feel like walking.
Well worth a visit.

What surprised me about Mauritius was the lack of great looking sandy beaches, even thou I had traveled over much of the island. Gris Gris was the only beach I saw that resembled what I thought I would see in abundance, golden sands and surf. Unfortunately, this beach is too dangerous to swim at. The rugged coastline is always a view that captivates your attention. If the ice cream truck is there get one, best ice cream I have ever eaten!

Visit this place while you discover the South as it is the most southern point of Mauritius. You will get very nice view over the ocean.

The views of the coast here are worth seeing as well as the short easy walk to La Roche qui Pleur. Look out for the rock which looks like a witch!

This is one of my favorite beaches!
The wind and the waves and the perfect blend these two makes this place just awesome..
The sound of the waves and the winds will stay in your sub conscious for long...
Amazing scene from the Cliff.
A visit will be memorable...

How far is this place from the Hotel Le Mauritia, at Grand Hair, North? Worth the visit? thanks

Any good for rock / beach fishing? as I gather there is no reef and strong current...this can only mean one thing..big fishes! I'm a pro sports fisherman looking to cast far out at sea with heavy fishing gear but not sure about corals or too many rocks on the shore?
Written August 21, 2016
If you can find your way down to the small beaches between the cliffs, yes Loads of fish there. But I would say it's too risky to do so.
