Flic en Flac, the west-coast benchmark
Flic en Flac, Rivière Noire · West
The west's biggest public beach: a casuarina belt running for kilometres, concrete tables, and a lagoon that stays calm even when the easterly is blowing on the other coast. It's the universal Mauritian plan B: when the east is windy, everyone shifts here. Sunset straight ahead, guaranteed.
