Introducing Grand Baie

In the 17th century the Dutch used to call Grand Baie 'De Bogt Zonder Eynt', which meant the 'Bay Without End'. Today it appears as though it's the development – not the bay – that is without end. Although the term 'tourist hub' may frighten many away, Grand Baie actually has a lot of virtues. There are several quiet nooks in the area (like charming Pointe aux Canonnier) to escape the noise and hustle, accommodation options are wide ranging, there are convenient transport connections and you'll never tire of the myriad dining options. It's no St-Tropez, but it still has its charms.
