Beach Trou aux Biches Mauritius
The entrance to the public beach of Trou aux Biches on the coastal road from Pointe aux Piments to Grand Baie is located on the level of the police station. The beach has a small parking place and various stands selling freshly fried gateaux Piments or Dalpouri.
Although the public beach area is not particularly interesting due to the number of boats anchored here (the motorboats for water-skiing and other water sports start from here), the picture changes after you make a turn to the right.
The beach along the Trou aux Biches Hotel is indeed one of the best in Mauritius.
This beach appeals to every type of visitor to Mauritius.
The fine sand contains only a few pieces of coral, and is ideal for building giant sand-castles.
The beach is sufficiently wide, but offers only limited shade. Persons who are not guests at the Trou aux Biches Hotel should arrive early or bring protection from the sun. Loungers and sun umbrellas have recently been made available for hire.
The beach of Trou aux Biches has a gentle slope, and is consequently particularly suitable for children and non-swimmers as well.  The reef in front of the beach ensures that the water is calm.
The coral reef at Trou aux Biches is only 250 m from the beach, and is one of the best snorkelling paradise locations in Mauritius. The coral reef can easily be reached (by swimming through shallow water) and offers a wide diversity of species. Dive into the wonder world of the coral reefs. The reef is also suitable for snorkelling beginners.You should be particularly aware of the current when swimming further out. The wind often blows from the shore, making the return more difficult.
Trou aux Biches is also an ideal location for lovers of diving sports. Numerous diving bases ply their trade from Trou aux Biches.
The range of water sport opportunities is more than sufficient. Whether you're keen on water-skiing, jet-skiing, glass boat trips or parasailing, every taste is catered for.
The resort is also the starting point for deep-sea fishing. The fleet is located at the end of the beach in the direction of Grand Baie.
The beach of Trou aux Biches is well-suited for long beach walks, and offers romantic sunsets; don’t leave the beach too early!
