Flic en Flac works well as the centre of a west-coast day. Make room for the sand, a food stop and time to enjoy the coast without another long drive.
What brings you here
Flic en Flac is on the west coast, with a long sandy shoreline and casuarina trees. Mauritius Now highlights nearby street-food stands and the area’s diving opportunities.
Come here when you want a beach day with the option of finding something to eat nearby. Choose a public-beach arrival point before travelling, particularly if someone is dropping you off and collecting you later.
Plan the day around it
A diving outing is a separate plan from a beach visit. Confirm the departure point, suitability, equipment and conditions with the operator before including it in your day.
