The beach is an ideal spot for unwinding in a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The tranquil surroundings offer a breathtaking sight of gigantic ships sailing in and out of Port Louis. It's a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and indulge in the tranquility of nature.

This charming beach is a lovely spot, however, it may not give you a sense of complete safety. The accommodations are consistently clean and well-kept, yet they could use some additional allure to entice both locals and visitors to enjoy a delightful time.
