The tiny volcanic island of Rodriguez is located 600 km northeast of the mainland. The island, often referred to as "Mauritius 25 years ago", really looks like its neighbor, especially with the striking stripes of peach sand beaches. The unique coral reef, 42 species of endemic trees and a range of entertainments remain in the memory of tourists for a long time. Would you like to visit one of the remotest corners of our planet, looking like a wonderful forgotten world? Then study our top of its pristine beaches.
Ile Aux Cocos is one of the most visited places and valuable treasures of tourist Mauritius. Coconut Island (so its name is translated) is located 4 kilometers west of Rodriguez, famous for its magnificent beaches and a unique bird sanctuary. You can get to this paradise from the fishing village of Pointe Dumble aboard a sailboat.
The legend says that a pirate treasure is buried on this small beach. However, Trou d’Argent itself can be called a treasure of the Rodriguez island and one of the most beautiful beaches in the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by cliffs, it is accessible only to walking visitors, offering them a 45-minute trekking along the coastal path from Pointe Coton.
Pointe Coton owes its name to the village of the same name, to the east of which it is located. Getting to this public beach is very easy: there is a daily bus service between it and Port Mathurin, the transport center of Rodriguez Island.
