Popular tourist destination Riviere du Rempart lies in the northeastern part of Mauritius. Beautiful Grand Baie Beach is a heaven for yachting and diving enthusiasts, who have a range of marinas, facilities and tours at their fingertips. Active types will also relish the chance to rent or charter sailboats, or practice kitesurfing, diving, big-game fishing. Those seeking simple relaxation will also find what they need among the powdery white sands, turquoise waters, and lush palm trees. The beach also boasts one of the only restaurants in Mauritius that is actually on a beachfront. A thriving nightlife scene, a nearby UNESCO-listed historic site (Aapravasi Ghat, an ancient temple), and several meditation centres complete the enticing package. Other must-sees include the Grand Gaube, Roches Noires, and Plaine des Papayes.
