    Lovely small beach, not too crowded and great place to catch sunsets. Reasonable parking availability too.

    A very clean and beautiful beach on the western coast of Mauritius. The Le mourne mountain can be seen right in front of this beach. Dolphin and whale watching is a must do when around tamarin. It's a lovely and cherishing experience.

    If you love long beach walks, then the walk from Volmar to Tamarin Beach,through the forest pathway that begins at the back of Sands Hotel, and ends just behind Tamarina Hotel, is a beautiful nature discovery in itself. Tamarin beach in itself is just to relax and let time pass by as not much else to do and not so sure about swimming either...

    A stunning little beach. The sand can be hit and miss with coral, and it was not really a swimming area. However, the backdrop of the nearby mountains makes for incredible vistas and photographs.

    Beautiful beach with spectacular view of the sea. Plus you have a store nearby that sells Flying Dodo beers which is super convenient. 😋

    Great place for surfing, won't recommend swimming though because the waves are quite strong here. You can rent a surf board from the shop near the beach. If you go in water, do carry the beach shoes as there are many tree branches in the water that might hurt.

    This beach isn't very nice, but is worth to visit, because of one beautiful place on it, from where you can make trip up trough black river by kayak, where I made my pictures...

    Mauritius: Tamarin Beach, also some time’s called Surfers Beach is located in the western part of Mauritius It is some what unique as it is not protected by coral reefs, and as such, the beach enjoys a bit more lively waters with roaring waves rolling in. The beach is used most by Mauritians for swimming, picnicking fishing , surfing etc, as there not any big hotels close by. .#verandatamarinhotel #Mauritius #nature #wildlife #animals #weekend #earth #wildlifephoto #video #planet #wonderfulplaces #outdoor #exploremore #getoutside #expat #outdooradventures #awesome #travel #discover #canoeing #fishing #surfing #Tamarin #veranda #hotel #paradise #island #beach #hotel #hotels #holiday #vacation #water #sports #wifi #internet #adventure #travel #berry #mervin #padi #scuba #diving #kayaking #windsurfing #veranda #tamarin #simple #fishing #kayak #snorkeling #boogieboarding #fitness #bicycle #sauna #sunset #mervinberry #tamarinbayboathouse #tamarinoceanprodivingcenter #tamarinsurfschool #tamarinsevencoloursspa #mervinberry

    Beautiful beach lined up with trees, some food stalls and a public toilet available. Water seemed shallow. Nice views to the mountain.

    Beach is not the nicest on Mauritius, but the view towards the mountains is awesome!

    Don't try to surf here. My almost 16 year old son got shoved off his board by locals, telling him to get out of the water because he is not a local.

    Beautiful beach a must visit. Clean and safe.

    Death in paradise. This beach has a dark past. The confluence of the sea and the river has a narrow channel that people have crossed and died in the process. It is signposted for that reason. I believe it's an issue with quicksand as it looks pretty shallow. With only 1 metre tidal range, it's not like a tidal bore. There are public facilities (wc) provided and a small car park, although it does get filled up by about 11am on a weekday.

    A charming and picturesque beach with its natural scenery and clear water.

    I had a great time with the Holistizen team at Tamarin Public Beach!!

  • 2/5 Ben R. 2 years ago on Google
    Murky waters due to the mouth of the river. A lot of people trying to cross the river and not realising how deep it was. Lots of junior surfers learning which was great to see. I did a spot of fishing as was told the river mouth usually attracts sea fish looking for an easy dinner. A few fishermen accosted me trying to sell seats on their big game fishing trips. The coast felt dirty with a lot of wood chips and leaf litter washing up. Clearer waters to the north in Flic en flac.

    It's great beach.

  • 5/5 Carol Cunningham S. 3 years ago on Google
    This is such a fun beach. Depending on what day and time you go you will be able to float in the cool sea or body surf (yes at times there are big waves) Watch the surf lessons. Parents sitting around watching their kids. It's perfect to learn as the waves near the beach are soft and continue for long. Once you've got it you surf further out near the reef. Yoga lessons on the beach. Sunset it's very festive.

  • 3/5 Priscille W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very dirty after cyclones. A clean up would be welcomed.

  • 5/5 Martha T. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely public beach in the south east. Great for sunsets and a gorgeous view of mountains in the background. This is also the mouth of black river. Highly recommend a visit here.

  • 5/5 Jouana J. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to come to relax with friend, family. Easily access on the beach, have fast food like noodles, balls and soup etc.

  • 5/5 Mike M. 5 years ago on Google
    Best beach to relax and amazing waves. One of the best beaches to watch sunset 🌇 and chilling.

  • 5/5 Josh K. 5 years ago on Google
    An amazing place, the sand is very smooth one of the best beach of Mauritius, clean toilets, place to visit with friends or relatives, a great view of the sunset can be seen there at around 5h30

  • 3/5 Irina S. 1 year ago on Google
    All the boats for dolphin watching go from here. The sand is more of a black sand

  • 4/5 Prameela G. 4 years ago on Google
    Scenic beach

  • 5/5 Ruffled B. 1 year ago on Google
    Sand is hot. Beach has pebbles and shells with rough sand, bring flip flops and swim shoes. Waves can be dead still, or surf-able - depends on the wind.

  • 5/5 Ashley Van S. 1 year ago on Google
    Peaceful, calm vibes, calm sea. Careful for the sharp pine cones that fall on the beach.

  • 3/5 Parishant 1 year ago on Google
    Nice beach and scenery but parking is a big problem especially when full and vehicles coming in and some going out.. all get jammed as vehicles parked everywhere!

  • 2/5 Maja P. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice mountain view. The beach was full of stones and completely untrqnsparent water. Very dissapointing. Some minor waves.

  • 4/5 Chris O. 5 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    I liked the vibe there. It's not the most beautiful beach ever but special with the river on the side and cute. Trees give shade there are some cheap foodstalls. But it felt more like this community - surf vibe then all the other places I found here so far

  • 4/5 Jeeha V. 5 years ago on Google
    So peacefull nad wonderful environment

  • 3/5 Rozemarie Z. 5 years ago on Google
    It is fine, but not great. The water isnt clear because of the river nearby. There is shaduw and the beach is not very busy, so that's nice.

  • 4/5 Chrysa A. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing view

  • 5/5 Shahaba M. K. 3 years ago on Google
    A very quite place the beach is not clean as the north beaches because the river joining the sea and the waves are sometimes quite not good for swimmers if weather is bad. Else a nice place to lunch and watch the sea.

  • 1/5 Pierre S. 4 years ago on Google
    Not nice beach, full of wood and no clean sand. Even got friendly ripped in a small street. Guys “kindly” asked us to give money to them. Well, what can you do in this situation. Really disappointed. After a short walk, we took a taxi back.

  • 4/5 Deena B. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing beach to spend the weekend! A vaste beach for a nice walk with a pleasant cool breeze. Plenty of shade if you want to sit down. Blond Boulette (and noodles) and Glaçon Rapé to savour! Veranda Tamarin Hotel sits just across the beach and the public can enjoy a bite at Kas Dal Restaurant at the hotel. Splendid mountain, river and sea views makes for a calm and serene atmosphere to relax and unwind. The beach is not the ‘whitest’ (to say the least), and the sea is best known for surfing than swimming, but these are nature’s wishes.

  • 4/5 Tristan B. 3 years ago on Google
    A pretty beach with a great location and an awesome place to test out your MMA skills if you want to catch the wave of the day. The round should start in the line up and progress to taking on a number of locals on the way to your car. While I don't like how my bits show when I wear lighter coloured shorts I feel i may need to invest in some to surf here. Crystal clear reeling lefts, and a fun shorey at the bottom of the bay.

  • 5/5 Akash G. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best beaches of Mauritius!

  • 2/5 Beat E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The beach would be 5⭐ but unfortunately after the cyclone that came on December 29th it was not cleaned up properly so that there is still a lot on the beach. The locals are too lazy to do anything and it doesn't interest them, too bad. For this stone tower it took me 10 minutes and it is still there after 14 days. Sorry Tamarin not like that. (Original) Die Beach wäre 5⭐ Wert aber leider wird nach dem Zyklon der am 29.12.kam nicht sauber aufgeräumt so dass noch sehr viel am Strand ist. Die Einheimischen sind zu faul was zu machen und es interressiert sie auch nicht.Schade. Für diesen Steinturm hatte ich 10 Minuten gebraucht un er liegt nach 14 Tagen immer noch da. Sorry Tamarin so nicht.

    (Translated by Google) Beach without more (Original) Plage sans plus

  • 4/5 Sabine U. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A public beach with parking, clean public restrooms, no showers. Lots of shade through trees available. Beautiful beach. Something rocky. There is a surf and dive shop that lends boards and offers trips to the dolphins that are often found in this bay. The hotel veranda has a nice cafe / bistro opposite the beach. There you can sit relaxed and eat a bite. (Original) Ein Public Beach mit Parkplatz, sauberen öffentlichen Toiletten, keine Duschen. Viel Schatten durch Bäume vorhanden. Schöner Strand. Etwas steinig .Es gibt einen Surf- und Tauchshop, der Boards verleiht und Fahrten zu den Delphinen anbietet, die in dieser Bucht oft zu finden sind. Das Hotel Veranda hat ein ein schönes Cafe/Bistro gegenüber des Strandes. Dort kann man entspannt sitzen und eine Kleinigkeit Essen.
