Weeping Rock

Roche Qui Pleure, or “Weeping Rock”, is one of the most unique natural attractions on the southern coast of Mauritius, located near the Gris Gris beach. The place got its name due to an unusual natural phenomenon: when the waves of the Indian Ocean hit the rocks with force, the water runs down the rock, creating the illusion that the rock is “crying”.

The power of the ocean and strong winds make Roche Qui Pleure a particularly impressive sight. From the outside it looks as if the rock is literally shedding tears, especially at times when the waves reach their maximum height. This place attracts many tourists, photographers and nature lovers who want to capture these amazing moments.

The rock is also a symbol of the wild and rugged nature of southern Mauritius. There are no coral reefs protecting the shore like other beaches, so the ocean here is full of power and continuous movement. The view of crashing waves, high cliffs and endless ocean creates a unique atmosphere of nature's majesty.

You can walk along the cliffs and enjoy the panoramic views. This place is ideal for walks, wave watching and photo shoots against the backdrop of nature.
