The construction of Fort Adelaide started in 1832 and was completed after almost ten years. Fort Adelaide offers vast panoramic views of Port-Louis and its harbour. The British built this fortress in fear of a civil war from the remaining French settlers on the island and also for the purpose of guarding the harbour against enemy attacks. A ride uphill to Fort Adelaide guarantees breathtaking views of Port Louis and of the mountain range surrounding Port Louis.

The Church with its Red roof top made is situated ideally at the very northern point of Mauritius offering breathtaking views of the 5 northern islets of Mauritius. It was here the British landed in 1810. Many visitors now go to the Village of Cap Malheureux only to see and take pictures of the Red roofed Church. Visitors have a lot to see from the beach of Cap Malheureux; you can have the beautiful view of the crystal clear ocean, see the small Islands in the Northern coast of Mauritius and the beautiful beach.

Mont Choisy Beach is situated along the northern coast of Mauritius, a few minutes drive from Grand Baie. What makes this beach so special is the gentle way the strand of white sand bends around the coast creating a bay of beautiful, turquoise water, lined with casuarina trees. These trees provide shade and a perfect backdrop for the ocean. Since this beach is very accessible, it’s a favourite among both tourists and locals and is one of the best places to relax and enjoy quality beach time. The entrance to Mont Choisy Beach is guarded by a monument which commemorates the very first manned flight between Mauritius and Reunion Island which took place on September 10, 1933.
