Bain Boeuf

Set on the northern coast of Mauritius, Bain Boeuf is a laid back town that offers a range of outdoor activities, heritage sights and amenities. Bain Boeuf Beach is a primarily rocky, shallow beach ideally suited for picnics and views of Gunner’s Quoin Island, a volcanic landmass protected due to its rich biodiversity and unfortunately closed to the public. However, the eastern section of the beach has swimmable waters and joins with the Bain Boeuf Lagoon, which offers access to several snorkelling spots. Further inland, nature lovers can enjoy a walk around biodiverse wetlands, while history enthusiasts should check out the contentious beachside monument commemorating British arrival here more than 200 years ago. Finally, Bain Boeuf boasts a range of accommodation options and restaurants for those looking to extend their stay longer than a day trip.
