Beach · East Mauritius
Poste Lafayette
Poste Lafayette is a quiet public beach on Mauritius's east coast, known for its rugged shoreline, scattered rocks and strong trade winds. The exposed conditions make it popular with kitesurfers and windsurfers rather than swimmers. Backed by casuarina trees and a few coastal hotels, it offers an unspoilt, less-crowded alternative to the island's busier resort beaches.
