Point d'Esny looks amazing with crystal clear water and one of the whitest sandy beaches I've seen on Mauritius. It is great to spend a couple of hours here. There are, however, no facilities and for food it's a good idea to go to the busier Blue Bay. The entrance is quite hard to find, there is a small path in between two villas on the coastal road from Mahebourg to Blue Bay. There is a sign that says "Pedestrian Access to the Beach". After like 150m or so you will find yourself on this tropical beach. It is not a very hidden gem anymore, you will find yourself with other people, but it is still beautiful.

Lovely, peaceful, so beautiful and came down here a few times during my 2 week holiday this April 2019. One of the days was really amazing watching all the locals enjoying a day here. Children were laughing and enjoying a sack race, looked liked the equivalent of a school sports day. Sadly a huge hotel is now very near to completion and in my view although it will provide jobs to locals it will also take away the tranquility and special leisure days for them too.

Wonderful museum well worth a visit in Mahebourg. Interesting collections are located on two floors of the pretty colonial building, helpful staff are available on both floors. Rooms are arranged in a clear manner- the first room has natural history related items (Dodo and Rodriques Solitaire bones) then it’s chronological order: Dutch-French-British periods in their own rooms. Clear signage in both English and French goes through the main naval history, plenty of treasures recovered from the numerous shipwrecks. History of the (now defunct) railway system came to me as a surprise, check out the governer’s coach behind the building as well. Topics such as slavery and indentured labour are also covered and extensive collections contain beautiful old maps, palanquins, coins, model ships, old photos, china etc. Gift shop was not open during my weekday visit either. Museum is free so do pop in for a brief visit or spend two hours going through it all. On the walk back to town, next to the garden of the museum, there is a little bakery in the corner. Grab yourself a hot cheese-potato-sweet corn puff pastry for Rs20 - or the cream puffs and eclairs looked delicious as well.

Nice place for a walk. There are plates where you can read the history of Mahebourg and the battle of vieux grand port. During the day you will have an incredible view of the lagoon with view in the lion mountain , mouchoir rouge île aux aigrettes. There are all kind of things you can find. During fishing season you will see the locals fishing along the water front. You can even buy the fish of you want to. Don’t forget to bring a hat and sun glasses. It is very hot during the day. The locals are very nice and friendly. There are food stands nearby and also a KFC nearby. At night , you can enjoy a gentle sea breeze while you walk. A good place to go with your family.

If one is a nature lover, then a visit to this splendid place is a must. The walk n the waterfall set in nature offers a serene atmosphere. Don't be surprised by the monkeys found around...they seem to enjoy the company of visitors????
