Albion Lighthouse & Caves

WestHideawaysLocalNature

Dramatic sea cliffs, a historic lighthouse, and hidden caves on the wild west coast.

The Albion Lighthouse stands proudly on the western cliffs of Mauritius, offering visitors stunning views of the Indian Ocean and the rocky coastline below. Built during the colonial era, this historic beacon continues to guide ships along the coast. The area around the lighthouse features dramatic volcanic rock formations and crashing waves, creating a wild and beautiful landscape. The cliffs here are popular for photography, especially during sunset when the sky turns golden. While the lighthouse itself is not always open to visitors, the surrounding grounds and clifftop paths provide ample opportunity to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of this unspoiled corner of Mauritius.
