Trou-aux-Biches

Trou-aux-Biches is a small town with a public beach on the northern coast of Mauritius, in the district of Pamplemousses.

From Port Louis, the M2 highway heads towards it, with Trou-aux-Biches about a mile west from the end of M2.

[2] Trou-aux-Biches started off as a fishing village in the 19th century, and its name appears on the Lislet-Geoffroy map drawn in 1807 during the French colonial rule of the island.

In recent time, it has evolved into a small town with a two kilometer long white sand beach shaded by casuarina trees, snorkeling reefs, boutique shops, a supermarket and other facilities along the B38 road catering to family tourism.

Inland from the town is Maheswarnath Mandir, the island's largest Hindu temple, founded in 1888.
