Located on the north-western coast of Mauritius, the Mont Choisy beach is a haven for anyone who wants to experience a quiet beach time. Despite being right next to one of the most commercialized cities of Mauritius - Grand Baie - de Mont Choisy beach is almost a remote beach, lined by rows of trees along the coastline.

Untouched by the tourist crowd, Mont Choisy is a tropical beach with abundant marine life. However, the only catch here is that due to the absence of hotels and resorts around, there is hardly any scope for water sports or beach sports activities. During the peak tourist season, you might find a few snack stands and mobile food vendors frequenting the beach, but during other times of the year, Mont Choisy remains undisturbed and free from the crowds.

 

Best Time To Visit Mont Choisy Beach - Mauritius

Though Mont Choisy Beach is an all-year destination, the best time to visit falls between September and November when the temperature is neither too warm nor too cold and the rainfall is limited. The warmest months here are between January-March, with early February temperatures ranging between 22 degrees (night) and 28 degrees (day time) Celsius. This is a good time to enjoy the warm waters & get that perfect tan. November to January is usually the busiest time with lots of tourists so hotel prices are quite high unless you book well in advance. June-August is the slowest season for tourism at Mont Choisy beach so this a good time for bargain hunters. The weather is comfortable and the precipitation is moderate during this time.
