Proclaimed public beach

La Cambuse Public Beach

La Cambuse is a public beach in the Grand Port district, in the south of Mauritius. It is made up of two sections, both public since 2014: La Cambuse, 4.8 hectares and some 692 metres of shoreline; and part of La Cambuse, 1.9 hectares, which does not touch the sea. Together they cover 6.7 hectares for 692 metres of shoreline.

At a glance

Beach: Public beach in two sections, 6.7 hectares and 692 metres of shoreline: La Cambuse, 4.8 hectares and 692 metres, since 2014; part of La Cambuse, 1.9 hectares set back from the sea, since 2014

What sets it apart

The section with no shoreline is what sets the place apart: the public domain of La Cambuse includes 1.9 hectares of land set back from the sea, which became public beach at the same time as the beach itself. The case is rare: it occurs elsewhere only for one section of La Preneuse, one of Petit Sable and one of the Pas Géométriques of Pointe aux Sables.

The mood

On busy public holidays a duty ambulance attached to J. Nehru Hospital is stationed on the beach and also covers Le Bouchon.

Good to know

This is the emergency point for this part of the south on public holidays, and it also covers Le Bouchon.
The public beach includes land set back from the sea: do not be surprised that the public domain reaches beyond the sand.

Getting there

The beach lies in the south of the island, in the Grand Port district, west of Blue Bay and east of Le Bouchon. On busy public holidays the duty ambulance is stationed on site and also covers Le Bouchon.
