Port Louis Beaches For April
Flic en Flac Beach
Beaches along the west coast of the island are treated daily to some of the most beautiful sunsets you will find anywhere on the planet. One such beach where tourists can find a great sunset is Flic en Flac Beach. Additionally, tourists will also be able to experience one of the longest beaches in the region.

Things To Do In Port Louis In April
The Crown Lodge
Beginning in April each year, one of the top highlights of Port Louis and the island are the horse races at The Crown Lodge. Running from now until November, visitors can bet on the ponies and spend a day watching the horses run, meeting with trainers, taking advantage of the open bar and just being a part of a site that has been in existence since 1812.
Le Performant
For those who prefer fish over horses, now is the perfect time to enjoy 8 hours of sunshine per day and go for a deep sea fishing adventure. Le Performant offers fishing at its finest as guests go after some of the biggest marlins in the sea. The company sets sail from the northern part of the island, but it is still a short drive from the capital and the adventure is worth the effort.
