Tamarin Beach in Mauritius
Back to all Beaches

Tamarin

WestAmenitiesSurfing

Tamarin is an animated and lively village, particularly appreciated by surfers with its unique brown sand beach.

The beach of Tamarin is not like the other beaches of the island. It reveals a different atmosphere, unique, with its brown sand.

The mixture of fresh water from the river, whose mouth separates the beach in two, with the salt water of the sea, alters the minerals contained in the sand. It is this interaction that makes the sand darker.

It's known for its cool vibes (especially on weekends). Tamarin Bay is loved around the world by surfers for its majestic waves.

It is also one of Mauritius best beaches to witness dolphins; however it can get pretty crowded in the early morning.
