Pomponette Beach

Pomponette Beach is one of the most peaceful and naturally beautiful beaches on the south coast of Mauritius. Located near Riambel and Saint Félix, this long stretch of coastline is known for its quiet atmosphere, soft sand, turquoise water and wild tropical scenery. Unlike the busier beaches in the north and west, Pomponette feels more untouched, making it perfect for travellers looking for calm, nature and a more local beach experience. This beach is ideal for beach walks, photography, picnics and relaxing by the ocean. The landscape is open and scenic, with views of the south coast, casuarina trees, clear lagoon colours and a raw natural charm that feels far from the resort crowds. Swimming can be enjoyable when the sea is calm, but visitors should always be careful, as the south coast can sometimes have stronger waves and currents depending on the weather and tide. As a local, I would recommend Pomponette Beach for travellers exploring the south of Mauritius, especially if you want to combine it with Riambel, Saint Félix, Souillac, Gris Gris, La Roche qui Pleure or Bel Ombre. It is a beautiful stop for anyone who wants to discover a quieter and more authentic side of Mauritius
