Coin de Mire, or Gunners' Coin, is a striking islet off Mauritius’ northern coast, known for its cannon-like shape and rich maritime history. Once a key landmark for sailors in the 17th and 18th centuries, it guided ships entering Grand Baie during the era of European naval rivalry. Today, it’s a nature reserve celebrated for its dramatic cliffs, endemic vegetation, and thriving marine ecosystem. The surrounding waters are home to vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish, and sea turtles, while the islet itself shelters nesting seabirds like the Wedge-tailed shearwater — making it a haven for both history lovers and marine enthusiasts.
Pointe aux Canonniers, on Mauritius’ northwest coast, is a scenic spot steeped in history. Its name, meaning “Cannoneers’ Point,” reflects its colonial past as a strategic military outpost. In the 18th and 19th centuries, under French and British rule, it served as a key defensive site guarding the northern coastline and Grand Baie’s vital harbour. Cannons once lined its shores, ready to repel naval threats. Today, the area is celebrated for its calm turquoise lagoon, coral reefs, and white sandy beaches — a peaceful retreat where traces of history still echo amid the natural beauty of the Mauritian coastline.
Pointe aux Piments, meaning “Pepper Point,” is a peaceful coastal village on Mauritius’ northwest coast, named after the pepper plants that once grew wild here. Historically a humble fishing community, local fishermen long depended on the rich marine life just offshore. Today, the village is renowned for its Marine Park — a protected sanctuary of coral reefs and seagrass beds teeming with vibrant tropical fish, sea turtles, and other marine species. Snorkelers and divers are drawn to its clear waters, while the tranquil beach and gentle lagoon make it a serene escape rooted in both nature and heritage.
Trou aux Biches, once a quiet fishing village, traces its name to French colonial times — “Deer’s Hollow,” named after deer that roamed the inland forests. Its calm, turquoise lagoon, protected by a thriving coral reef, has long drawn settlers, traders, and fishermen to its sheltered waters. The reef, teeming with parrotfish, turtles, and branching corals, acts as both a natural barrier and a vital ecosystem. Over time, Trou aux Biches transformed into a treasured beach destination, yet it retains its Creole soul. Here, marine life, history, and local tradition blend seamlessly in the rhythm of the tides and reef.
