Huge surf comes right through a break in the surrounding coral reef and finds its way to the Bay of Tamarin on Mauritius’ southwest shore. Because of the topography of the island at this point, the breakers can be sweet. But don’t count your surfers, just yet.
They are few and far between, mainly because Tamarin Bay, or Baie du Tamarin, is shallow salt flats. Yes, the beach is very nice, and there are some nice facilities nearby. But Tamarin Bay has sort of a rough around the edges feel for Mauritius.
And now for something entirely different. For those who know life off the tourist trap path, the East Coast Beaches of Los Cabos were designed for you. Full of great amenities, but not as traveled as the beaches around Cabo San Lucas, the East Coast Beaches are a delight. In fact, the culture here is entirely different, as well as the local food, from what you will find in Cabo. The reason is the terrain. With rough terrain come rough people - not in the sense that they are mean or hard to get along with. They are wonderful, but a little rough around the edges. It is harder to get here and things are a little harder to get than in other Baja California regions. And for some reason time seems to have stood still in several areas on this coast. Not complaining. I love it that way. So now it’s your turn. Come here to find the real Los Cabos. Leave a different person.
