Blue Bay Marine Park, Marine park in Blue Bay, Mauritius

Blue Bay Marine Park spreads across the southeast coast of Mauritius with extensive coral gardens containing many different coral species. The water remains shallow and clear enough for visitors to view marine life both from glass-bottom boats and while snorkeling in designated areas.

The government of Mauritius established this protected area in 1997 to safeguard the local coral ecosystems from growing pressure. The site later received international recognition and formal status as a protected wetland under a global conservation agreement.

Local fishing families guide visitors through the underwater world and share their knowledge of marine life. These personal connections help people understand how the ocean has been part of daily life in this region for generations.

Exploring the park works best by boat or snorkeling in designated zones. Plan to wear water-friendly clothing and follow staff guidance to help protect this environment.

A large brain coral formation here is over 1,000 years old and stands among the oldest living structures in the park. This ancient coral stands as a silent witness to the ocean's long history in this place.
