Blue Bay
Often called one of the best beaches in the world, the white
sand of Blue Bay contrasts with its brilliant turquoise water. Blue
Bay (also called Bel Ombre) is the most popular beach in Mauritius,
and can get crowded on weekends when the locals from Mahebourg come
in droves though weekdays are pleasantly quiet. Blue Bay is
renowned for its colourful coral reefs, and snorkelling and scuba
diving are popular activities. Non-swimmers can enjoy the view from
a glass-bottomed boat on the way to the Islets of Mauritius, also
known as the Ile de Deux Cocos. Land-based activities include
tennis and volleyball; and Blue Bay has some excellent restaurants,
though not known for its nightlife.
