Ile de la Passe is a small but very historic island off the south-east coast of Mauritius. This island played an important role during the famous Battle of Grand Port over the possession of the harbour between the 20th-27th of August 1810. The French Navy’s victory over the British Royal Navy at that time marks the only victory under the Napoleonic regime and as such is commemorated by an inscription on the Arc De Triomphe in Paris.

Also known as Ile aux Fouquets, Ile Phare was amongst the first ones to be discovered in 1598 by the Dutch settlers. L'Ile Phare bears its name by virtue of a lighthouse built in 1864, which was still operational until beginning of the 20th century. Historically, Ile aux Phares, situated within the bay of Mahébourg has fulfilled a strategic purpose during the naval battles at Grand Port.

This little bay has been listed as a Marine Park since 1997, it contains superb coral beds and abundant undersea life that is unequalled in Mauritius. Situated on the South East coast of Mauritius near Mahebourg, is one of the best places to see the beautiful marine life and to go for snorkeling. The total area of the Marine Park is 353 hectares; it includes the lagoon and extends about one kilometer seaward from the reef crest, the bay boasts a coral garden with a remarkable surface area and biodiversity. The fauna of this sub-aquatic paradise is as amazing as its flora. Scientists have identified 72 species which live together and cross each other in a highly-coloured and splendid aquatic ballet.
