Blue Bay is a crescent of white sand in the south-east, near the airport, inside a protected marine park. The lagoon is calm, the water a clear blue, and a few metres out the coral garden begins, with hundreds of fish species. Glass-bottom boats take you to the best spots.
It's far from the villa (1h15), so combine it with Mahébourg, Île aux Aigrettes or Pointe d'Esny.
