Belle Mare
Mauritius · Flacq
Belle Mare at Quatre Cocos, on the east coast of Mauritius, is a popular spot for its large white sand beach and turquoise lagoon. Accessible from the public beach, it offers a generous space for riders of all levels.
The spot shares the same lagoon as Palmar, a little further south, with a wide and safe launch area. It is an ideal place for families, combining kitesurfing and activities like diving or catamaran excursions.
The atmosphere is relaxed, with kite schools on site to guide beginners in this bay protected by a coral reef.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The wind mainly blows side-on or onshore from the SE or ESE, ideal for the lagoon sheltered by the reef. The launch is on a wide and obstacle-free beach, with a spacious and safe take-off area, especially when heading towards Palmar to the south to avoid the swimming zone marked by buoys.
The navigation area is a large shallow lagoon up to the reef, perfect for jibes and freestyle in flat water. At high tide, the water rises and allows for more freedom, while at low tide, it remains navigable with foot access in the first meters. Be cautious of the reef passes for downwinds towards Poste Lafayette, check with local schools for timings and rocky areas.
The water is generally calm near the shore thanks to the reef, but can become chop beyond or with east swell. Beginners stay in the inner lagoon, while intermediates and advanced riders head out to the reef for waves of 1 to 2 meters.
