It is also where you will be able to learn a great deal about the battle of Grand Port, which has marked our history. Do not miss the sight of the island ‘Mouchoir Rouge’ at the end of the quay, a sight that will truly amaze you!

Located in front of the Mahebourg Waterfront is the local market of Mahebourg . Filled with delicious street food, local goodies and vegetables, you can definitely take a detour to do some much needed shopping!
