Grand Baie

Grand Baie is a very popular seaside resort in the Riviere du Rempart area in the north of Mauritius.

Not surprisingly there are a number of resorts spread along long stretches of white sandy beaches and a wide variety of facilities offers a range of water sports, from wind surfing, parasailing and sailing.

Grand Baie is also home to Mauritius's night life and is reputed to have the best bars and nightclubs on the island.

It is also a great place to shop, with a range of shops from modern arcades to more traditional local shops selling clothes, local crafts, jewellery and souvenirs.
