Black River

Stretching from Pailles to Baie du Cap on the western coast of Mauritius, Black River (Rivière Noire) is a district of exquisite natural beauty. The town was named after the black stones in the river, which remains an essential characteristic of this enticing destination. The breathtaking Tamarin Falls and their accompanying freshwater rock pools take centre stage - among the richly lush gorges, valleys, and forests that back the pristine, white sands of the legendary beaches. These shores entice visitors with their warm, turquoise waters, photogenic sunsets, and ample opportunities for watersports. Make sure to visit Flic en Flac Beach, a well-known favourite among the locals.
