If you prefer fishing, the village lagoon could very quickly become your new fishing spot. Moreover, with the specialised fishing equipment shops in the area, you won't run out of bait.  Hotels often organize fishing parties, but if you want to get expert advice, you can always start a conversation with the many fishermen who come to the beach at Pointe aux Canonniers by day and by night. 

If you don't want to fish but rather observe the sea creatures, the underwater safari organised by Blue Safari Submarines, which is only a seven-minute drive from Pointe aux Cannoniers beach, should appeal to you.

This activity allows you to appreciate the various species of crustaceans and tropical fish as well as coral reefs that Mauritius has been blessed with.
