Beach · East Mauritius
Roches Noires
Roches Noires is a quiet public beach on Mauritius's northeast coast, named for the dark volcanic basalt rock lining its shore. A sheltered lagoon offers calm swimming, while the surrounding area is known for lava-tube caves formed by ancient flows. With few facilities and a local feel, it suits visitors seeking a relaxed alternative to busier resort beaches.
