Updated: September 7, 2024

La Prairie beach is located between Baie du Cap and Le Morne Brabant in the south of Mauritius, about 10-15 minutes drive from Le Morne beach. The area of the beach is quite large and you will also find grassy areas, from which it gets its name (meadow or prairie). The beach offers spectacular views of Mount Morne and the lagoon.

La Prairie is also the starting point for seaplane excursions, during which you can enjoy breathtaking views of Mauritius' most underwater “waterfall”.
