West Coast and Rivière Noire

Region

The west is drier and often sunnier, backed by steep ridges and the dramatic Le Morne headland. Flic-en-Flac and Tamarin are good bases for swimming, surf and lagoon boat trips, with sunsets that draw photographers year-round. Afternoon breezes suit kitesurfing around Le Morne, while early starts are best for hikes and clearer mountain views.
