The eastern coast of Mauritius is virtually unaffected by mass tourism: it does not have such large resorts as Flic-en-Flac or Gran Baix, and most of the infrastructure is located on the territory of hotels. But it is there are the most luxurious hotels of the island, long beaches and a couple of excellent dive sites.

Transport east coast of Mauritius
Buses from Port Louis, Ciupipeip, Rose Hill and Maeburg are arriving at Central de Flac, and there is a need to change trains to get to the coastal resorts. For example, the bus to Trou d'Eau-Douce departs every half an hour. But to the resort of Bel-Mar buses do not go: they will only get a taxi (~ 300 MUR).
There is no regular ferry to the island of Ile-o-Cerf: there you can swim on one of the private boats, in excess of offering their services in Tru-d'O-Douce. Boats depart every half hour from 9 am to 4 pm. Guests of the Le Touessrok were lucky most: they have a free transfer.
In addition, in almost every hotel in the region, you can rent a scooter.
Hotels
Most high-class hotels are concentrated around the village of Bel-Mar. The tourists who stop there are so steep that they prefer a helicopter transfer to the hotel by car (and not because of heavy traffic).
Quite differently, the small resort Tru-d'O-Dus is positioned. Here you can find and class hotels, and places for spending the night cheaper (perhaps the only ones on the entire coast). In addition, it is from there that the excursion to the famous "deer island" Il-o-Cerf starts.
It is on the east coast is the only one in the whole country (sounds scary, but do not forget about the size of Mauritius) water park - Leisure Village.
Beaches on the east coast of Mauritius
In Trou d'Eau Douce there is a post office, a shop, a small petrol station, scooter rental and a lot of places where you can eat and cheaply spend the night. On the outskirts of the resort is located one of the most luxurious hotel complexes on the coast, Le Touessrok 5 *. And just 15 minutes of sailing on an ordinary boat (or 5 minutes on a fast boat) is one of the most popular excursion and diving routes in the country, the island of Il-o-Cerf.
"Oleny Island" Ile Aux Cerfs (Ile Aux Cerfs) - a real gift for lovers of diving and water skiing .There are two restaurants and a lot of water entertainment centers in the bays with crystal clear water .Once this island attracted the attention of surfers, but today, becoming the No. 1 line for one-day excursions, the number of people on its beaches Ile-o-Cerf scared off the brave "conquerors of the waves" .Most of the island today belongs to the hotel Le Touessrok, so all local water sports centers, as well as an 18-hole golf course, are primarily reserved for hotel guests .
Belle Mare (Belle Mare) is a 10-kilometer strip of chic sandy beach, which managed to collect the best hotels in Mauritius. The whole infrastructure here is concentrated in the territory of hotels, behind the gates of which it is hardly possible to find two or three decent restaurants to have a snack. Prices in Belle Mar are much higher than the island's average.
Diving on the east coast of Mauritius
This parade of colorful fish can be seen in the Strait of La Passe de Belle Mare. There are about five dive sites, which also often have sharks. Further south, opposite the resort of Trou d'Eau Douce, there is another site - Passe de Trou d'Eau Douce. It's not so spectacular, but it's good for drift diving.
