Le Morne
At Mauritius's south-western tip, Le Morne's public beach runs for kilometres beneath a brooding basalt mountain that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site — casuarina shade, a lagoon flat as glass, and kitesurfers streaking across the reef break beyond.

About this place
The famous 'underwater waterfall' illusion lies just offshore, best admired by helicopter if the budget stretches. Go between May and November for dry, breezy days, and stay put for sunset behind the mountain — it is frankly absurd.
