Bain Boeuf Public Beach
Bain Boeuf is a wide sandy beach in the northwest of Mauritius characterized by soft white sand and clear calm waters. The shore is bordered by small rocks and offers a natural setting suitable for swimming and marine observation.
The area was once a quiet fishing port before becoming a preferred holiday destination in recent decades. The calm waters have attracted local communities who have fished and swum here for generations.
Bain Boeuf follows the rhythm of the sea, where fishermen practice traditional methods and small markets nearby sell fresh fish and tropical fruits. The place blends Mauritian traditions with the influence of visitors from different countries who come here for holidays.
The beach has no large parking areas, so visitors often park along the roadside or walk from nearby accommodations. There are no lifeguards on duty, so swimmers should exercise caution during rough seas, while small stalls nearby offer drinks and snacks.
Many visitors arrive early in the morning when the beach is quiet to watch fishermen preparing their boats or take a swim before the day heats up. These simple moments make it a place of quiet, happy memories for families who return here again and again.
