Found on the Southern tip of Mauritius, Gris Gris deserves its name for its gloomy and moody atmosphere, all year round.

The only break in the otherwise perfect barrier reefs circling Mauritius occurs in the South. Thus explaining the angry waves which come crashing on the cliffs.

Swimming is strictly prohibited. Yet, it is still a favourite place for many locals to have a picnic and to relax with friends, family and relatives.

Kiosks, public toilets and safety ramps have been placed to the convenience of the public.

Further down the road is 'La Roche qui pleure', ('The Weeping Rock') and 'Le Souffleur', where crashing waves 'whistle' as they rush into the gaps of the cliffs.
