Pointe Canon
A hilltop viewpoint east of Port Mathurin, with a statue of Our Lady Queen of Rodrigues and an old fort, overlooking the harbor and lagoon.
Pointe Canon sits on a small hill southeast of Port Mathurin. It features a statue of “Our Lady Queen of Rodrigues,” a lighthouse and an old gun battery, and offers views over the whole of Port Mathurin and the emerald lagoon. It is about a 20-minute uphill walk from the town center, or you can drive to the summit. Entry is free, and sunset is the best time to visit.
