Bras d’Eau National Park

Bras d'Eau is one of the island's three national parks and the least visited: a flat coastal forest with easy marked trails. The Coq du Bois loop wanders through an old orchard of mango and litchi trees; the Mare Sarcelle pond attracts birds like the Mauritius paradise flycatcher and the Mauritius fody; and there are ruins of old lime kilns.

Free, peaceful and shady: combine it with Poste Lafayette beach or Belle Mare.

• Easy, shady forest trails
• Endemic birds at Mare Sarcelle
• Very quiet
