Ile aux Cerfs Beach

The beach seems to be overhyped and overly crowded, with a commercialized atmosphere that detracts from the natural beauty of the area. In contrast, the beach at Veranda Palmar is a much more serene and peaceful location, with a cleaner and more pristine environment that is free from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds. If you're looking for a more authentic and relaxing beach experience, Veranda Palmar is definitely the way to go.

The beach is a fantastic destination for those seeking a fun and cost-free experience. Upon arrival, the staff will suggest that you stay and enjoy the beach, however, it may not be the most exceptional beach around. Instead, venture further down the coastline and you will discover stunning, unspoiled locations without the crowds of tourists. 🌊🌴

If you're fortunate enough to have good weather, one of the most stunning beaches in Mauritius is a must-visit. The contrast of the white sand against the black volcanic rocks and the turquoise waters is simply breathtaking. We chose to organize our trip ourselves so that we could spend more time on the island. We took a transfer boat from Pointe Murice jetty, which costs 450 MUR per adult and 300 MUR per child and includes a welcome drink and sunbeds. The island can be explored at your own pace, and you can park your car in the jetty's parking lot. The last return transfer is at 5 pm, and they run every half an hour from 3 pm. On-site, there's a restaurant, a bar, and a gift shop, which are a bit expensive, but it's expected. There are also plenty of water sports activities to enjoy. If possible, try to arrive early in the day. Between 11 am and 2 pm, the beach can get quite crowded with tourists from catamaran and speed boat tours. During lunchtime, it's best to avoid the beach area where the boat tours do their lunch grills (south from the Bubble beach). The beach is relatively narrow, and the tables are right on the beach. Behind the beach, there are many private property signs from the golf course, and the smell of fuel is prevalent due to the high number of boats. However, outside of lunchtime, it can be quite pleasant.

This beach is definitely one of the best I've ever been to. We had a great time parasailing and even got to check out the nearby waterfall. However, it's worth noting that there are only two restaurants on the island and the prices for food can be quite high.

This location in Mauritius is truly stunning, but unfortunately, swimming may not be the best option due to the abundance of sea urchins on the beach. These creatures can be found both on and off the shore. Additionally, a boat tour is available for a reasonable price of 450 Rupees (approximately 10-12 Euro) but does not include a BBQ. However, there are some great food options to be found on the island.
