Why go Pointe d'Azure Beach in Mauritius
A quieter stretch of Mauritius, shaped by sea and sky.
Pointe d’Azur is a quiet coastal point beside Pereybere in northern Mauritius, known for lagoon views, reef scenery and a more low-key setting than nearby resort hubs. It suits couples, photographers and travellers exploring the north; treat it as a short coastal stop rather than a major attraction.
Pointe d’Azur is a small coastal area beside Pereybere in northern Mauritius, offering a quieter contrast to the busier visitor centres around Grand Baie.
Rather than coming for a large attraction, the appeal is the setting itself: clear lagoon water, views across the northern coastline and a mix of sandy and rocky shoreline. It works particularly well for travellers who enjoy discovering smaller coastal corners between the better-known stops of northern Mauritius.
The waters around Pointe d’Azur are also associated with a reef used for snorkeling. That makes the area relevant to travellers interested in the lagoon and marine environment, although snorkeling conditions, access and boat movements should always be assessed on the day rather than assumed in advance.
Pointe d’Azur is best viewed as part of a Pereybere–Cap Malheureux–Grand Baie itinerary rather than somewhere that requires most of the day. Walk the coast, take in the lagoon, enjoy the quieter atmosphere and then continue exploring the north.
It suits couples, photographers, independent travellers and anyone who enjoys low-key coastal scenery. Travellers looking for a large public attraction, extensive entertainment or a destination packed with activities may find nearby Grand Baie more suitable.

Frequently asked questions
Pointe D'azure Beach In Mauritius: quick answers
Is Pointe d’Azur worth visiting?
Yes, if you enjoy quieter coastal scenery and are already exploring northern Mauritius. Pointe d’Azur is more of a scenic coastal stop than a conventional attraction, so its appeal comes from the lagoon, shoreline and setting beside Pereybere. Travellers wanting extensive shopping, restaurants or organised entertainment may prefer to spend more time in Grand Baie.
How long should I spend at Pointe d’Azur?
There is no standard visit duration because Pointe d’Azur is a coastal locality rather than a ticketed attraction. For sightseeing, it works best as a short stop while exploring Pereybere and the north. Stay longer only if you plan to spend time beside the water or have arranged a specific marine activity.
Where is Pointe d’Azur in Mauritius?
Pointe d’Azur lies beside Pereybere in the Rivière du Rempart district of northern Mauritius, with Grand Baie to the southwest and Cap Malheureux farther along the northern coast. This location makes it easy to combine with several other northern places during the same outing.
Can you snorkel at Pointe d’Azur?
A reef around Pointe d’Azur is identified as a snorkeling area connected with Pereybere. However, access points, sea conditions and boat movements can vary, so do not assume every part of the lagoon is suitable for entering the water. Check current conditions and local guidance before planning snorkeling.
Does it cost anything to visit Pointe d’Azur?
Pointe d’Azur is a locality rather than a conventional ticketed attraction, so there is no attraction admission associated simply with visiting the area. Individual activities, tours or equipment may have separate costs. Respect private property boundaries when exploring, as parts of the surrounding coastline include residences and accommodation.
What should I combine with Pointe d’Azur?
Start with nearby Pereybere, then continue towards Cap Malheureux for another northern coastal experience. Grand Baie works well for restaurants, shopping and evening activity. Travellers planning a full northern circuit can also include Pamplemousses or Mont Choisy, depending on how much of the day they want to spend on the coast.
Who is Pointe D'azure Beach In Mauritius best for?
It suits travellers planning relaxed coastal time, photography or a beach-led itinerary.
