Additional information

Along the South Coast, some shallow lagoons with crystal clear can be found, however the South is one of the few places in Mauritius where the open sea comes in straight to break on rocky cliffs. In most places, bathing is considered hazardous due to strong currents and dangerous waves.

Visiting the South is a manifold experience as its scenery and the omnipresence of local colonial history are both picturesque and intriguing. In our opinion, the South is the region that contains by far the most interesting traces of the French colonial era. Among the places of interest are Rochester Falls, the blow-hole “Souffleur”, the Mahebourg Naval Museum and the Marine Park at Blue Bay.
