About Trou d'Eau Douce

Trou d'Eau Douce is a fishing village on Mauritius's east coast, the usual departure point for boats to Île aux Cerfs and its lagoon.

Trou d'Eau Douce is a small fishing village on the east coast of Mauritius, facing a wide lagoon sheltered by a coral reef. Fishing boats and launches sit along the shore, and a short strip of restaurants and shops looks onto the water. Sugar cane fields stretch inland. The east coast catches the trade winds, so the air is breezier and often cooler than on the west coast.
