La Cuvette Beach, Public beach in Grand Baie, Mauritius.
La Cuvette Beach is a sandy shore with clear waters enclosed by rocky formations that create a natural horseshoe shape. The sheltered cove sits at the edge of Grand Baie's northern area.
The beach remained largely unknown to visitors until road signage was added to make it easier to find. These markers helped bring more awareness to the location.
Families gather here on weekends for casual grilling and use the food stalls to sample regional dishes in a relaxed social setting.
Parking and shower facilities are available for visitors. Water sports such as underwater walks and parasailing can be arranged with advance notice.
The beach sits between two hotels and gains natural shade from abundant trees, giving it a secluded feel despite being near Grand Baie's main area. This location makes it feel like a quiet retreat.

Mauritius offers natural places away from tourist centers. The island shows its geological diversity through beaches, waterfalls, and hiking paths. Black River Gorges National Park is home to rare animal and plant species. You can swim in clear water at beaches like La Cuvette and Pointe d'Esny. The Valley of Ferney protects local wildlife. Sites like Pont Naturel, Le Souffleur, and Gris Gris Beach display the raw coastline, while waterfalls such as Tamarind Falls and Chamarel Waterfall allow walks through green areas. The island's cultural sites tell its story. Apravasi Ghat is a UNESCO World Heritage site that remembers the past. Chateau de Labourdonnais records how people lived in earlier times. Small chapels like Notre Dame Auxiliatrice and historic ruins like Balaclava show the religious and social roots of the island. The island also offers less common experiences. Visiting a tea plantation like Bois Cheri gives insight into local farming. Small islands like Ilot Gabriel and Ilot Mangenie invite day trips. Nearby Rodrigues Island with beaches like Trou d'Argent offers a quieter choice than the main island.
