Pointe d'Esny
Pointe d'Esny sits at the island's southern tip near the international airport, fronting one of Mauritius' largest and best-preserved lagoons. Sources describe it as suitable for all levels thanks to the sheltering reef, but public beach access is constrained by the private villas lining the shore, reached via a discreet pathway or by boat/water.
