Along the South Coast, there are some shallow lagoons with crystal clear water but the South is one of the few places of Mauritius where the open sea comes straight in to break on rocky cliffs. In most places, bathing is considered as hazardous due to strong currents and dangerous waves.
Visiting the South is a twofold experience as its scenery and the omnipresence of its colonial history are both intriguing. In our opinion, the South is the region that contains by far the most interesting traces of the French colonial era.
Among the places of interest are Rochester Falls, Le Souffleur, the Mahebourg Naval Museum and the Marine Park at Blue Bay.
