Acceptable but not amazing. Worth a quick visit but if you want a better beach then go further north towards Pointe Choisy Public Beach.

So beautiful place...The Oberoi Hotel is nearby...very calm and relaxing...❤🧡💙

Underrated beach, great snorkeling spot with clear sea. Unfortunately speed boats are a pest at certain times of the day, should ban them in the lagoon!!

Very cozy and not too crowded at any time.

Nice beach with some good shades. Good spot for snorkeling. There are plenty of fishes to observe. It's not too great for swimming as there are plenty of corals. If you want to swim then you should swim in the swimming areas in front of the hotels

Sea & beach does a good job here. Mauritius tourism authority fails miserably with trash collection. Sums up the island really.

Quiet Public beach in a remote region.Not crowded.Nice for a dip.You can also arrange for a boat or speed boat ride.Shady quiet place.This place is very near to some good hotels of Balaclava.Toilets and a water point has not been provided.

Beautiful place , but too many dogs, It a great place to go, dangerous to swim. can stay there for a while,but not at night dangerous place to go. But overall it good.

It is not to busy but can do with a cleanup.

Best beach on Mauritius to chill and snorkel!!!

Etwas versteckter aber wunderschöner öffentlicher Strand. Perfekt zum Sonnenbaden oder Schnorcheln. Mit dem Auto kann man bis vor an den Strand fahren. Hier kann man einen wunderschöner Sonnenuntergang sehen.

Nice beach to spend time with family tho its not best for swimming.

Small, not very well maintained beach. It has a nice mountain view but it's neglected even by the hotels.

Nice beach and not too many people

Great place

Lovely walk along the beach & certain areas still cleaning up from the earlier cyclone, before the next was moving past!

It's a bit rough underfoot, with a lot of dead coral. Other than that, pleasant enough.

It is a quiet beach very close to a lot of 5 star resorts. Looks good for snorkelling, not great for swimming. There is some sand and a tree area. Great little food shop Sunset Cabanne where you can get traditional Mauritian foods. Lots of parking and there are bbq pits so you could have a bbq there. Only downside is no public toilet.

Beautiful sea, but you will see some garbage on the beach and the sea.

Dirty public beach and surrounding areas, full of scattered trash. Such a shame, the beach itself is beautiful. There are parking spaces and some trees for shade. No public toilet.

Beautiful place where you can see lots of big boat like wakashio travel

Lovely place to snorkel Get your own chairs though as only one large tree to sit and picnic under Public beach nested between two resorts Best sunset in mauritius

Today my holiday in paradise was tainted. My memories of Balaclava beach are of sadness ... A poor dog lay dying on the grass underneath the trees. Locals parking cars & almost reversing over this poor animal made me horrified. Mauritius has a terrible problem with strays & unfortunately for this poor pooch he has no chance ... There was litter, plastic bottles cans & paper everywhere as we approached the beach. So very disappointed, cried my eyes out & totally ruined my afternoon. Cant get that image out of my mind 🐶😥😢

Loved this beach had a lovely walk with my babies there. Fortunately close to where we will live so I see many trips there.

Nice quiet beach, great for a long walk. Sand quite course in places and rocky. You can swim but might need swim shoes although Snorkeling was great.

Ok beach. Was staying at Ravenala Hotel and decided to go for a walk. 15 minutes. The water itself was clear and appeared cleaned. There were quite a few snorkellers there. The beach itself had a lot of rubbish flying around.

Balaclava public beach is a real gem 💎 that’s secluded from the main road. It’s well worth visiting. Not the biggest stretch of beach or place to swim, but the water is beautiful and snorkelling can be easily done here.

Great sunset 🌇 from the amazing Oberoi hotel

Beach local to my parent's house. Took my dog for a walk and a swim late evening yesterday, only downside is that there's no public toilet there. Otherwise I love the place. 😍

Lovely

Family time is the best place to enjoy Harbour view

Good beach not that bad can go with family

It's ok, but nothing special. Sunset is boring there. Few people, you can buy fruits from local.shops. Trees right after the seeside. That's all.

Nice beach, not over crowded

Nice place for fishing

There is no similar sunset each day

Wow🔥😍

Nice beach not crowded

my place,my home....l love it there

My favourite spot! 👍

Amazing

Beautiful fish and wonderful snorkeling but very dirty beach.

Nice place to visit

Trash everywhere kinds of ruins the mood.

This is a quiet little beach with a great view of Port Louis and the southwest coast of Mauritius.

Peaceful tranquility and nature combine to make this heaven on earth. Great beach great snorkelling.
