The west coast of Mauritius boasts a secret gem: La Preneuse beach. A vast expanse of soft sand fringed with lush vegetation, La Preneuse is a tranquil public beach with clear, shallow waters ideal for swimming. Unlike crowded tourist spots, La Preneuse exudes serenity. History whispers from the ruins of a Martello tower and old cannons along the beach, remnants of a bygone era. Explore the waters by catamaran, speedboat or kayak, or head out to swim with dolphins. But La Preneuse’s true magic unfolds at sunset, when fiery hues blaze across the evening sky – a photographer’s dream.
