Rivière des Galets Beach in Mauritius
Back to all Beaches

Rivière des Galets

SouthSurfing

When someone says 'beach in Mauritius' you probably think of yellow or white sand. But beaches come in far more different shapes!

Do we have you at untraditional white-sand beach? Something unique on its own… Coming from the river, a countless amount of smooth pebbles cover the shoreline.

Do not expect being able to find a spot for a good swim as Rivière des Galets is not secured by coral reefs and is more often a surfer's spot.

Witness the waves caressing the shoreline of pebbles that roll down, making an incredibly soothing sound. The place is ideal for some morning meditation by the shore.
