La Prairie Beach in Mauritius
Back to all Beaches

La Prairie

South WestFamily FriendlySecluded

With its picturesque backdrop of Le Morne Brabant in the distance, the area is a popular picnic spot for local families.

La Prairie is a vast stretch of grass and beach land, located between Le Morne Village and Baie du Cap in the southwest of Mauritius.

A so-very peaceful spot in Mauritius, you'd wish you could build a little cabana and stay there forever! La Prairie offers a large stretch of grass.

It is one of the best beach experiences if you are looking to be uninterrupted yet being able to witness local lifestyle since many locals try to get a spot there for a family picnic.

Another worthy reason why this beach needs to be on your list is for its incredible backdrop view of Le Morne Brabant, which looks straight out of a movie scene.
