Mahebourg is beautiful. While it is the main town in the southeast of the island
, it is mainly a small community of fisherman with a population of about 20,000. It was in Mahebourg that the first colonisers set foot on the island (although they later decided that Port Louis would make a more convenient capital). There is a great market near the bus station on Mondays, but my favorite part of Mahebourg is sitting by the waterfront. The blues and aquas show the various coral and sandy bottoms of the ocean. The view of the small island shown in the top photo is the cover of the Lonely Planet for Mauritius, Reunion & Seychelles and I would have to agree with the cover designer that it is one of the most beautiful sights ever.

I think that this island is called Mouchoir Rouge, which is translated as red handkerchief in English. Yeah, it's a great sight, especially with the mountains also in the background.
