Flic en Flac Lagoon Beach & Mauritian Sunset Strip
Flic en Flac stretches along one of Mauritius' longest lagoon beaches — calm turquoise water protected by the outer reef, white sand, and a string of beach restaurants for spectacular sunsets

Flic en Flac Main Beach Promenade
The 8-kilometer boardwalk runs alongside the village — white sand, swaying casuarina pines and the Indian Ocean lagoon shimmering in the mid-morning light

Outer Reef Kayak Excursion
Paddle through the lagoon to the outer reef line — the color changes dramatically from turquoise to deep blue at the edge of the reef where the sea drops away

Wolmar Beach to La Preneuse
As you head south along the beach from Flic en Flac, the sand widens at Wolmar and La Preneuse where large resort hotels give way to empty beaches

La Preneuse Martello Tower
A British colonial Martello tower on the promontory south of Flic en Flac — one of three built in the early 19th century to defend Mauritius against French attacks

Beach Shack Grilled Fish Lunch
The local beach shacks along Flic en Flac beach serve freshly caught bonito, wahoo and dorado grilled simply with lime and chilli — the best simple meal in Mauritius

Sunset Bar on the sand
As the sun sets behind the Morne peninsula in the south, beach bars fill with tourists and Mauritian families – rum cocktails, grilled corn and a sky turning red
