Île aux Phare (also known as Île aux Fouquets) is a small island off the eastern coast of Mauritius, located near the town of Mahebourg. It’s quite well-known for its lighthouse, which is a prominent landmark. The lighthouse was built in 1864 to guide ships navigating the waters around Mauritius.
The island itself is uninhabited and is accessible only by boat. It’s a great spot for day trips, offering stunning views, clear waters, and a quiet atmosphere, making it a perfect place for relaxation or exploration. The surrounding waters are also rich in marine life, so it’s a popular destination for snorkeling or simply enjoying the scenic beauty.
