At Pointe aux Roches, the Mauritian coastline reveals a different, wilder character. Instead of soft sand, you'll find a captivating expanse of dark, volcanic rock formations, sculpted by centuries of ocean's embrace. These natural sculptures create intricate tide pools and dramatic ledges, inviting exploration and offering a stark, beautiful contrast to the island's more serene beaches.
“This beach offers a unique, rugged landscape of volcanic rock formations, providing a dramatic backdrop for scenic photography and powerful ocean views.”
