On the road between Mahebourg and Blue Bay, the visitor passes through Pointe d'Esny, the small settlement along one of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the island. In summer a wonderful spot for bathing and family vacationing, it becomes rather windy during the winter months and is thus a favourite place for wind- and kite surfers as well as local and tourist families who love to spend their weekends or holidays in one of its lovely beach houses and villas.
