Baie du Cap

Baie du Cap is a small headland on the southwest coast of Mauritius that juts into the South Indian Ocean. It is named for its remote location facing the open ocean, as if one has reached the end of the land. The coastal road here makes a sharp U-turn around the giant rock at the tip of the headland. Taking a photo from above the rock, capturing the road and the blue sea in the same frame, is a highly recognizable scene on the southwest coastline. Climb the stone steps to the small observation deck on top of the rock to enjoy the sea breeze, with the deep blue Indian Ocean on one side and the winding coastline on the other. In the evening, this is a great spot to watch the sunset over the sea as the sun slowly sinks into the Indian Ocean on one side of the headland. The beach is also scattered with round reefs of various sizes. At low tide, as seawater flows through the crevices between the rocks, it creates a series of wonderful sounds.

Gris Gris Beach

Big Wave Bay is a bay located in the southern part of Mauritius Island. Due to its geographical location, it is easy to form big waves. It is a free 270° large viewing platform. Here, lush tropical forests are close to the coast, and white sandy beaches come and go under the caress of the waves. The sometimes high waves in the distance came downwind, hitting the reef, making a shocking cry, breaking the tranquility nearby, and people couldn't help exclaiming with excitement.

Fouquets Island

This is a very beautiful isolated island. It is said that a photo taken casually can be used as a postcard. The lighthouse on the island has a history of more than 400 years. Although it has been baptized by fire, it shows more history and vicissitudes. The movie "The Breakup Master" was filmed here. Lighthouse Island, also known as Fukai Island, is a small island located in the eastern waters of Marlborough. Usually, the island is visited by boat from Blue Bay. It is recommended that tourists who are not very busy spend more time there, go to the nearby reefs, or look at the lighthouse from a distance, and even go around the lighthouse to look at the magnificent sea view of the Maoqiu.
