Gris Gris Mauritius
The island of Mauritius’s most southerly point is known as Gris Gris. There are no reefs here to protect the coast from the strong waves of the Indian Ocean: the sea storms against the coast with all its might, offering a total contrast to the other calm lagoons.
There is no other spot on the island where visitors will feel so strongly Mauritius’s secluded location, adrift in the middle of a huge ocean.
DON’T be tempted into the sea by the beautiful golden beach at Gris Gris; swimming here is extremely dangerous!
A short walking trail beginning behind the car park leads to ‘la roche qui pleure’ (the Weeping Rock), where the waves hit the rocks and are thrown back into the sea with equal force.
