Blue Bay National Marine Park in Mauritius is a vibrant underwater spectacle and a must-visit spot on the island. With its serene setting and teeming marine life, it serves as a delightful playground for both fish and turtles, making it one of the top places to visit. The marine park, located off the southeast coast, is home to permanent sea turtles and boasts some of the best snorkeling experiences. It is known not only for its mesmerizing shades of blue but also for its unique coral garden, including the largest brain coral in the Indian Ocean. Visitors have the option to explore this exceptional underwater world through a snorkeling session or a trip on a glass-bottom boat. From wrasse, clownfish, angelfish, to coral and seagrasses, the park's crystal clear, shallow waters make it easy to witness its rich biodiversity.

Wonderful beach, wonderful sea.. You can see the corals, Fishes while snorkelling or diving.. You can rest under the big trees.. There are some small snack bars where you can eat street food and find some drinks. Don't leave Mauritius without seeing this beach..

Beautiful snorkeling spot. There are so many different type of fishes and corals. Crystal clear water as well. Amazing even with cloudy weather. Just wondering if all the boats going aren't damaging the ecosystem. Would probably be better to use non motor boats to preserve the marine life

We only had a few hours to kill before picking up family from the airport so took a quick 15minute detour to Blue Bay. When we arrived, a guy on the beach offered us a private boat to the middle of the reef for snorkelling (1000rup) so we took him up on it. And well worth it! Managed to see around 8-9 different species of fish and also a trip to Coconut island within the hours trip. Beautiful beach too, stunning sand and lovely warm waters.

We had done several snorkelling trips on the island and nothing came close to being as beautiful as this one. We hired a boat for 1000 Rupees (for 2 ppl) for 1h at the dock and the guy showed us different corals and fish which were amazing! The snorkelling was the cherry on top where we enjoyed swimming around this untoched beauty. Must see for anyone visiting the island!
