Baie du Cap
Baie du Cap is a small headland on the southwest coast of Mauritius that juts into the South Indian Ocean. It is named for its remote location facing the open ocean, as if one has reached the end of the land. The coastal road here makes a sharp U-turn around the giant rock at the tip of the headland. Taking a photo from above the rock, capturing the road and the blue sea in the same frame, is a highly recognizable scene on the southwest coastline. Climb the stone steps to the small observation deck on top of the rock to enjoy the sea breeze, with the deep blue Indian Ocean on one side and the winding coastline on the other. In the evening, this is a great spot to watch the sunset over the sea as the sun slowly sinks into the Indian Ocean on one side of the headland. The beach is also scattered with round reefs of various sizes. At low tide, as seawater flows through the crevices between the rocks, it creates a series of wonderful sounds.Bel Ombre · 6.7km from La Gaulette

The Cape of the End of the Earth in Mauritius has many large reefs protruding from the sea on the coastline, forming irregular angles. Some are like natural lighthouses standing on the sea, and some are like two pliers extending deep into the sea. The scenery is very beautiful and worth a visit.

Mona Mountain is steep and extends to the sea. There are many resort hotels on the mountain. The beach is very beautiful, with white sand and warm sea water. I recommend wearing shoes when going to the sea, which is suitable for a leisure vacation

Black River Gorges National Park is a very important national park in Mauritius. I came here during the rainy season. Although we couldn’t see far away, it had a different kind of hazy beauty. Because of the rain, there were fewer tourists and the entire national park was our world.

Tamarin does not offer the clearest sea water but is one of the dolphins favorite morning spots. Book a kayaking tour from one of the local companies to bring you dolphin watching or explore Rivière Tamarin. An excellent way to see things from a different angle and travel more responsibly.

Mauritius's seascape is world-famous, and it can be ranked in the top three. I personally feel that it is more beautiful than the Maldives❤️The beach is white and fine, and the sea water is blue and blue. The only problem is that the transportation is inconvenient, so it is suitable for staying in a hotel~

Deer Cave Crater is a famous attraction in Mauritius. The view from afar is very shocking, and I sigh at the power of nature. It is really simple and magical. It is said that this is a dead volcano, but it is magnificent and majestic! Very beautiful!

The Natural Bridge is a natural attraction in Mauritius. There is no bus to reach it. The scenery of this attraction is spectacular, and you can see beautiful waves. You can walk on the Natural Bridge, but you have to walk slowly because the road surface is uneven.

Big Wave Bay is the most beautiful beach in Mauritius. The bay here is very large and the sea water is exceptionally clear. The blue layering of the entire sea water is very distinct, and the visual effect from light to dark is super good. The sand on the beach is very soft, and there are many water sports for everyone to choose from. It doesn't feel excessive to play here for a whole day. It is really not to be missed.
