2 Very poor

The beach offers stunning aesthetics and breathtaking views, however, it is disheartening to note that it is excessively littered, much like the majority of public beaches in Mauritius. Regrettably, environmental concerns seem to be overlooked.

6 Pleasant

The beach is a wonderful spot to spend time with loved ones and friends. It is a small, yet charming beach that offers restroom amenities. During my visit, there were only a few individuals present, which made it even more enjoyable. However, it is unfortunate that some individuals choose to litter the area, leaving behind cans, bottles, and other debris. Despite this, the beach is an overall lovely destination.
