The beach offers breathtaking views in every direction! Although there is limited parking and heavy traffic due to the influx of tourists, it is definitely worth making a quick stop.

The view from this beach is absolutely breathtaking, but it tends to get very crowded, making it challenging to capture the perfect photos.

It was an incredible experience, especially in heavy rain ☔, although I can't call it perfect since I couldn't swim 😔.

It's a gorgeous spot located in the southern part of Mauritius. During my visit, it was a little windy, but the wind created massive waves crashing onto the shore, which was absolutely breathtaking. The only issue with this spot is that taxi drivers tend to stop on the curve, making it difficult to see if there are any vehicles approaching when crossing the street.
