There's something about just being on the beach that has such a profound sense of relaxation to the tourist. A simple stroll along the shore with a loved one is enough for some to just take their mind off of the usual routine. For others, they enter their own 'bubble' by choosing to take advantage of the sun's rays, lying down to get the perfect tan. Still some prefer just to jump in and take a dip, coming out to enjoy a sumptuous lunch and the consequent nap.
Yes, there are so many options to choose from but in Mauritius, there are so many more things to do that it couldn't possibly be all done in a week, much less a day.
