Grand Gaube Public Beach

Grand Gaube Public Beach is a serene stretch of white coral sand on Mauritius's north coast, tucked into the heart of an authentic fishing village that has resisted the tourist crowds found elsewhere in the region. Sheltered by a protected lagoon, its calm, shallow waters and shade from casuarina trees make it an ideal spot for families, swimmers, and anyone seeking a slower pace of island life. What sets this beach apart is its front-row seat to daily Mauritian fishing culture — colourful pirogues bob in the lagoon, fishermen sell their morning catch at the jetty, and on weekends local families gather under the filaos for picnics. The beach is free to access, unstructured, and refreshingly low-key, offering a genuine alternative to the resort-lined beaches of Grand Baie just 12 kilometres west.
