Poste de Flacq

Poste De Flacq is a breathtaking, isolated and generally quiet peninsula on the east coast of Mauritius. With its lagoons, mountains, luxuriant vegetation, powder-white soft sand beaches, and rocky paths, this is a destination well suited to nature lovers, photographers, and outdoor sports enthusiasts. In particular, several attractive, scenic routes along the coast beckon to hikers and mountain bikers. The 427-hectare exotic forest at the Bras d’Eau National Park, just north, offers the chance to spot the endemic Mauritius paradise flycatcher and take a dip in one of the alluring natural pools. Make sure to spend a day meandering through the enormous open-air market at the town’s atmospheric, distinctively Creole centre for some excellent local souvenirs and deliciously fresh produce.
