Updated: September 7, 2024

Post-Lafayette Beach is located on the east coast of Mauritius and is relatively unaffected by mass tourism. The beach is surrounded by rocks of volcanic origin. The ocean here is often rough and swimming should be done with some caution. 

On the beach, walking along the shoreline, you can endlessly enjoy the beauty of wildlife and mangroves.

One of the local attractions is a monument dedicated to six soldiers who drowned after a boat capsized in the coastal waters during a training exercise.
