Le Goulet Public Beach

What sets it apart

Swimming here is dangerous in places. On busy public holidays the Mauritius Police Force, coast guard and Special Mobile Force included, posts special lookouts here at the dark spots considered dangerous for swimming.

The mood

The beach benefits from the emergency services of the north without being their base: on busy public holidays it is covered, along with Trou aux Biches and Pointe aux Piments, by the duty ambulance stationed at Mont Choisy, attached to SSRN Hospital.

Highlights

• 3.5 hectares and some 470 metres of shoreline
• A public beach since 1991
• Swimming dangerous in places
• Special police lookouts at the dark spots on busy days
