Pereybère Beach

Located within the large arc of northern coastline known as Grand Baie, Pereybère Beach lies just two kilometres from Grand Baie Beach itself and the village built around it. This means visitors are never far from the island’s largest selection of food and accommodation options.

One of the smaller beaches on Mauritius, at approximately 150 metres in length, Pereybère Beach is still thought of as one of the best stretches of sand for families with younger children. This is because its shallow waters are protected by an offshore reef system, preventing large waves reaching the beach, as well as the range of activities on offer. This can mean it gets crowded, particularly during the western school holidays.

The clean white sands and clear waters of Pereybère Beach are the starting point for all manner of adventures, from scuba diving expeditions to dolphin cruises, deep-sea fishing activities, and pedal boat rental. However, it’s also more than acceptable to lay back and enjoy the scene on one of the sun loungers that is hired out by the day.

While not boasting the food choices of Grand Baie Beach, Pereybère Beach does have a group of beach shacks from which it’s possible to buy snacks such as fruit and ice cream, which can make staying for the glorious sunsets all the more delicious.
