Flic en Flac is just 45 minutes drive from the airport, is another popular place with excellent beaches, all water sports and a quiet setting for complete relaxation.
Flic-en-Flac is located on the west coast of Mauritius and was once a small village with its only claim to fame a really long beach and a beautiful lagoon. There were few tourists to Mauritius in the 60's and trade not tourism was its main feature. That is until the 70's when the price of the sugar rose and created an economic boom to the country. Many more people could now afford the luxury of a bumgalow on the coast.
The west coast of Mauritius developed much slower that the North coast, but villages such as Flic en Flac have slowly grown into small towns. Flic en Flac has a lagoon where swimming is safe and various water sports can be enjoyed.
The climate on the west coast is relatively dry and can get very hot in summer. It is therefore a pleasant region all year round, especially during the windy month of June to August. A T-Shirt (or less) is all you need in summer (November to March.) A sweatshirt or something warmer is necessary for winter evenings (June to August).
