A bit north off the tropic of Capricorn lies the emerald island of Mauritius, embraced by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by wonderful white coral beaches, protected by a large barrier reef. Its coastal sceneries change with every bend of its roads.
Under the Influence of the South East Trade Winds, some places are windy near the sea shore such as Le Souffleur, Gris Gris and Le Bouchon. Pointe d’Esny & Blue Bay beaches both face one of the most magnificent lagoons on the island, well known for its soothing South East Trade Winds, clean, safe and quiet swimming. Moreover, the bay offers a spectacular view with the outer islands and the regular sails of the typical fishing boats returning from their day’s trip.
The climate on the west coast is relatively dry and hot. In summer, the heat often becomes so unbearable that a walk of 100 meters under the sun or not represents a major decision to take.
