Mahébourg’s waterfront beach faces a historic bay where a famous 1810 naval battle once took place.
Fishing boats and the town’s colonial-era buildings frame the shoreline.
The calm bay is a pleasant stop after visiting the nearby market or naval museum.
It offers a slower, more local atmosphere than the island’s resort beaches.
