Unsurprisingly, the beaches of the West Coast tend to attract a lot of visitors, but it is possible to find your quiet corner for relaxing in this wonderful part of the world. There are seven brilliant beaches on the West Coast and our favourites are Flic en Flac, Le Morne Brabant and Tamarin.

Windsurfing and kitesurfing
-
Le Morne Brabant’s beaches are incredibly scenic, boasting white sands that are fringed by swaying palm trees and caressed by exceptionally clear seas. Swimming is superb here too, but you do have to share your space with a lot of surfers most of the time. Tamarin beach also has the wow factor, and both bathing and surfing are excellent here. You can also walk the length of the beach, crossing the Tamarin River. Weekdays are great for finding a secluded spot for sunbathing and picnicking, while weekends are perfect for gatherings around campfires, filled with people enjoying the beach vibe.
Thanks to excellent wind conditions throughout the year, Le Morne Brabant beach is first-rate for windsurfing and kitesurfing – in fact, it is considered one of the finest destinations for these activities worldwide!
