Pointe d'Azure Beach in Mauritius

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.
