Baie aux Huîtres
A wide mangrove bay on the north coast, quiet and scenic, where local women are often seen wading to hunt octopus at low tide.
Baie aux Huîtres is the largest bay on the north coast of Rodrigues. Mangroves that are being restored line the shore, and at low tide the water recedes to reveal broad mudflats, where local women often wade out to hunt octopus. The coastal road has several viewpoints, and the light is soft in the evening. It is about 5 km from Port Mathurin, and you can continue to Port Patrot on the west coast to catch a boat.
