Trou aux Biches is located on the North West coast, and marks the beginning of the touristic Northern area. Compared with other cities like Grand Baie and Pereybère, it prefers local residences to luxury resorts. Its beach is less busy and is very popular amongst locals.
It is close to the busy Northern cities, yet mostly quiet. It is a prime location for weekend gateaways or beach day trips. The beach itself is great to swim in, with very few corals. Nearby are a few street food vendors and a great Italian restaurant.
Try Kwan Peng's dim sums (boulettes) opposite the beach's main access. This snack is one of the most famous on the island!
