Pointe d'Esny is a peaceful stretch of beach between Blue Bay and Mahébourg, lined with villas and casuarina trees. The lagoon is huge and shallow, great for wading and kayaking towards the islets, and part of it is a protected wetland (Ramsar site).
It's one of the quietest beautiful beaches on the island.
