Flic en Flac Beach

At the southwest tip of gorgeous Mauritius Island off the coast of Le Morne Brabant, the breath-taking vista of the underwater waterfall mesmerizes tourists with its majestic appeal. The spectacular sight is an extraordinary optical illusion that appears as if the water is gushing deep inside the ocean. This dramatic illusion of cascading water is the impact of oceanic currents.These islands were created by volcanic eruptions which, in turn, cause sand and other deposits from the nearby beaches to force off the plateau. These are getting down in such a way that it seems like seawater is flowing down deep into an underwater waterfall. While from the coasts of Le Morne, this stunning waterfall is not noticeable much. One can witness the beauty of the underwater waterfall only from a bird’s-eye view high in the sky. A spectrum of helicopter rides are available from the Island to behold this out of the world scenery and capture some beautiful memories.  This dramatic underwater waterfall is indeed a natural wonder and must not be missed while on a trip to Mauritius. Visit this place with your family, friends, or partner to enjoy an everlasting holiday experience.
