Where can you practise these sports in Mauritius?
It’s time to talk about the best places to practise these beach sports. Each sport has its own characteristics, which means that some beaches are better suited to certain sports than others. Whether you are a volleyball player, a frisbee enthusiast or a beach soccer fan, you will find what you are looking for in Mauritius.
Best beaches for volleyball
Beach volleyball is a sport that requires fine sand and a beach wide enough to accommodate the court. Among the most popular beaches for volleyball is Flic en Flac Beach. Located on the west coast of the island, it offers an idyllic setting with its white sand, crystal-clear waters and palm trees. Beach volleyball is very popular there and you will often find locals and tourists challenging each other in friendly matches.
Best beaches for frisbee
Beach frisbee, for its part, requires an open space so players can run and throw the disc. Mont Choisy Beach, located in the north of the island, is the ideal place for this. With its long stretch of golden sand and low weekday crowds, it offers the perfect space for a frisbee match. In addition, its picturesque setting with lush vegetation makes it a pleasant place to spend the day.
Best beaches for beach soccer
Beach soccer is a sport that requires a compact, flat sandy pitch. Blue Bay Beach, located in the southeast of the island, is an excellent choice. Not only does it have perfect sand for beach soccer, but it is also known for its magnificent lagoon, ideal for cooling off after an intense match. It is not uncommon to see beach soccer tournaments organised on this beach, attracting both local and international players.
Here is a summary table of the best beaches for each sport:

Preparing for your beach sports experience
Ah, beach sports in Mauritius! A true cocktail of adrenaline and fun. But before you dive headfirst into this adventure, some preparation is essential. To make your experience memorable and hassle-free, here are a few useful tips to keep in mind.
What should you bring?
To fully enjoy beach sports, you will of course need the necessary equipment. A volleyball, frisbee, or beach soccer ball, depending on the sport that excites you. Don’t forget your swimsuit, a towel and a change of clothes either. And if you enjoy picnics on the beach, a cooler bag to keep your food fresh could come in handy.
Safety tips
Safety first! The tropical sun can be unforgiving. So remember to bring a hat or cap, sunglasses and, above all, a good high-factor sunscreen. It is also recommended to have a bottle of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. And don’t forget: never leave your belongings unattended on the beach.
