Mauritius - although known for its sensational natural landscapes and wonders (like, for example, the Seven Colored Earths) is, without a doubt, most famous because of the sun, crystal clear tropical see and the beaches. This is what attracts people from all over the world to this tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. There are countless beautiful beaches around the island, and, if you book a hotel - surely it will have one just in front. However, those might be secluded and packed with tourists and hotel guests. If you want to discover the best places, where also the locals go, keep reading on. I will try to show you what I discovered traveling with the Mauritian family.
1. Mon Choisy
Mon Choisy beach (also spelt Mont Choisy) is one of my favorites. It’s quite long, with beautiful, calm see and astounding mountain peaks emerging in the background. Many local people come here in their free time to swim or simply to enjoy a family picnic. The whole area around the beach is planted with filao trees that offer a shelter from the heat. You can also spot some beautiful birds - like zebra doves scratching the in search of food.
