Pointe aux Piments
Pointe aux Piments is a quiet coastal village on the northwest shore between Balaclava and Trou aux Biches. Its public beach offers calm, shallow lagoon water sheltered by the reef, with rocky stretches alongside sandy patches. Popular for snorkelling, swimming and shore diving, it is less crowded than nearby Trou aux Biches and sits near the Mauritius Aquarium.
