Discovery of beach sports on Mauritius

Imagine yourself on a golden beach, the sun caressing your skin, the sea breeze playing with your hair and the warm sand beneath your feet. You look around and see people laughing, running and playing. Welcome to the captivating world of beach sports in Mauritius.

Volleyball on the beach

Beach volleyball, a perennial favorite, brings locals and visitors together around a common passion. The team spirit, friendly competition and physical exercise make beach volleyball a popular choice among activities to enjoy on the island. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, beach volleyball offers a rewarding experience.

Frisbee on the beach

The beach frisbee is another popular activity that combines physical exercise and fun. Easy to learn but difficult to master, this sport attracts those looking to improve their coordination, agility and concentration. In addition, it is an excellent opportunity to bond with other players and share a pleasant moment.

Beach soccer on the beach

For football lovers, beach soccer is a must. This sport combines the intensity of football traditional to the unique beauty of Mauritian beaches. Matches are often followed by enthusiastic crowds who passionately cheer for their favorite teams. So, donโ€™t hesitate to join a match to feel this electrifying energy.

With these three main sports offered on the island, every day spent on our beaches promises to be filled with action, laughter and good times.

  • Beach volleyball: An exciting team game that requires coordination and communication.
  • Beach Frisbee: A fun challenge that tests your agility and precision.
  • Beach soccer: A sandy version of traditional soccer for those who love a good game.

Where to practice these sports in Mauritius?

It’s time to talk about the favorite places to practice these beach sports. Each sport has its own characteristics, meaning that some beaches are more suitable for certain sports than others. Whether you are a volleyball player, a frisbee fan 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 here and you will often find locals and tourists challenging each other to friendly matches.

Best beaches for frisbee

Beach frisbee, on the other hand, requires an open space for players to run and throw the disc. The 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 influx of people during the week, it offers a perfect space for a Frisbee match. In addition, its picturesque setting with its 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 and flat sand field. 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 beautiful lagoon, ideal for cooling off after an intense match. It is not uncommon to see beach soccer tournaments organized on this beach, attracting both local and international players.

Here is a summary table of the best beaches for each sport:
