La Cuvette Beach

The majority of Mauritius' coastline is peppered with this lovely beach or another fantastic one. While most of them are quite well known among the visitors, there still remain others which are what one would term 'hidden jewels'. La Cuvette Beach, located in the heart of the bustling town of Grand Bay, is a haven for travellers seeking a quiet holiday.

The beach is free of rocks and corals, but it also has the signature crystal clear water with lovely blue hues. Many people visit La Cuvette in order to either spend a quiet day basking in the sun or to enjoy the turquoise waters with a much-needed refreshing dip. If you prefer to spend time in the shade rather than in the sun. La Cuvette beach also offers plenty of trees for anyone seeking cover from the sun.

For those interested in water sports, there are various options accessible at the La Cuvette beach, including underwater sea walks, parasailing, and deep-sea diving, all of which require advance scheduling. Because the beach is so close to Grand Bay, there are numerous facilities around that are only a few minutes away. There are also a few street food vendors on the beach for some local fare.
