5 reviews of Le Morne Brabant Beach

Really magical

Excellent

Le Morne Brabant Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius. The first thing that stands out is the surrounding environment. The whole isthmus is dominated by the 546-meter tall Le Morne Brabant mountain. The beach is also destination #1 for the thousands of kite and windsurfers who come to the island every year. In fact, you could say that the beach is divided into two sections. The windy southern end has strong waves and is popular among surfers. The northern half, though, is quieter and perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Oh, and the sunsets from the northern end are just breathtaking.


The whole area is like something off of a postcard, but it also has an interesting history. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Le Morne mountain was a hideout for escaped slaves and local folklore has lots of dramatic tales surrounding the area. One of the most tragic tales is of a group of ex-slaves who had built a wooden bridge to a small outcropping from where they could cut the bridge and be totally cut-off from any attackers. Well, when slavery in Maurutius was abolished, a group of locals headed out to Le Morne to tell the fugitives the good news. Thinking they were under attack, the group of ex-slaves threw themselves off the cliffs, preferring death than to return to a live of slavery.

Tragic tales aside, the area really is magical. Planting your feet in the sand and watching the sunset over the coral reefs and giant, still ocean is an experience you'll never forget.

White Sand Paradise

This white sand paradise is a good place for diving, snorkeling and probably the best place in Mauritius for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The water is clear and blue, all in the shadow of a large mountain and forest of palm trees...it really is an idyllic place. We slept in Tamarin, which is cheaper, but we came to Le Morne to snorkel and spend the day on the beach. It is difficult, if not impossible, to eat in Le Morne unless you bring your own food with you, or you choose to eat in the hotels which can be expensive.
