Blue Bay Public Beach
Blue Bay Public Beach is a wide sandy beach with soft white sand and clear blue water on the southeast coast of Mauritius. The water shows multiple shades of blue and has a large coral reef system nearby, making it ideal for viewing marine life in shallow areas.
The beach takes its name from the multiple shades of blue visible in the water along the southeast coast of Mauritius. The coral reef system here is one of the largest on the island and has long supported local fishing and marine activities.
The beach is a gathering place for local families on weekends, who come for picnics and to spend time together. It reflects how people on the island balance work and leisure, using the shore as a space for simple social moments.
The beach is easily accessible by car or taxi with free parking nearby. Basic facilities like restrooms and showers are available, though it is wise to bring your own supplies since dining options are limited to street stalls near the parking area.
The underwater coral gardens hold large formations with some areas of dead coral that still shelter hundreds of colorful fish species. Visitors occasionally spot dolphins and sea turtles close to shore or from boats, creating memorable wildlife moments.
