Beaches and Snorkeling in Mauritius: real experience from chats

From real experience

serviceMauritius beach recommendations: Flic-en-Flac (near Sugar Hotel) is popular for snorkeling (eels, pufferfish) but can be shallow and subject to tides/seaweed.
Trou aux Biches is noted for better sunset views and easier swimming entries. Public beaches are crowded on weekends and holidays. For a premium experience, visitors recommend high-end 5-star hotels which maintain private beach areas.
