Nestled along the bustling waterfront of Grand Baie, Sunset Boulevard Beach is a small, energetic strip of sand that serves as the town's vibrant heart. This isn't a sprawling, secluded expanse, but rather a compact urban beach, perfectly positioned for those who want to combine sun and sand with the convenience of city life. The sand, a soft, pale gold, invites you to kick off your shoes and feel the warmth beneath your feet, even as the aroma of street food wafts from nearby stalls.
“Its prime location within Grand Baie offers an unparalleled blend of urban convenience, vibrant atmosphere, and direct beach access.”

The beach is framed by the eponymous Sunset Boulevard, a lively promenade lined with fashion boutiques, souvenir shops, and open-air cafes. From your spot on the sand, you can watch the colorful fishing boats bobbing in the bay, their sails catching the afternoon light, or observe the gentle rhythm of local life unfolding around you. The water here is calm and inviting, ideal for a quick dip to cool off after a morning of shopping or exploring.
While not the most expansive beach, its charm lies in its accessibility and the constant hum of activity. It’s a place to grab a quick swim, enjoy a casual meal with a view of the bay, or simply sit and absorb the lively atmosphere. As the name suggests, the sunsets here are often spectacular, painting the sky in fiery hues as the day transitions into a vibrant Mauritian evening.
