 Beaches on small islands of Mauritius
Ile aux Cerfs Beach Mauritius
The beaches on the island of Īle aux Cerfs close to the coast of Mauritius feature in many Top10 lists of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Īle aux Cerfs is one of the absolute highlights of Mauritius.
This is also one of the reasons all tour operators include an excursion to this striking place in their programme.
Fast boats depart for the island approximately every half an hour from various locations; those who wish to travel on their own depart from Trou d’Eau Douce. A small parking lot where boatsmen can always be found is located near the entrance of the village. Make sure to bargain a good price.
The speedy trip to the island is an adventure in itself. Trips during low tide are a little slower as the boatsman has to avoid coral colonies.
As soon as you reach the jetty on the other side, you will realise that the dream island of Īle aux Cerfs is no longer an insiders’ tip. A multitude of offers for tourists and large crowds are a definite, especially on weekends. However, if you continue walking a little further, you are sure to find a peaceful place in one of the most gorgeous spots on the Indian Ocean.
Unfortunately it is no longer possible to do a round trip of the island as the thick mangrove growth is a deterrent.
Try and leave for Īle aux Cerfs before the crowds and allow yourself sufficient time to enjoy this beautiful island with its shimmering beaches of fine, white sand, the clear, blue sparkling water and the water sports facilities.
