Beaches
in
Pereybere (3.3 km from The North) Péreybère Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius offering excellent swimming conditions. Known as a family beach, it has a calm lagoon that is safe for small children to paddle in.
The white sandy beach consists of finely ground coral – it’s so soft, it's almost like velvet. Although it is popular and can get crowded on weekends, Péreybère Beach is a great place to chill under the shade of a coconut palm. Restaurants and bars are within walking distance.
Galleries and Museums
in
Port Louis (21 km from The North) Studio 44 Mauritius exhibits handmade glass creations including a selection of jewellery. Using Italian Glass, unique beads are individually created in a flame. Visitors are welcome to visit the artists at work. Lessons on how to make beads are on offer at the studio.

Blue Bay (48.1 km from The North) The crystal-clear blue water and fine sandy stretch bordered by takamaka trees have secured Pointe d'Esny Beach a 'must do' status while visiting Mauritius.
This small and largely residential beach neighbourhood has resisted large-scale development and has no hotels on its beaches.
The neighbouring village of Mahébourg is a great place to experience typical island life. Just a bit further is Pointe Cannon, marked by signs of the epic battle when French held back British warships.
