About Pereybère
- Coastal
Where it is
Pereybère is a small seaside town on the far north coast of Mauritius, just north of Grand Baie, with a public beach in a sheltered cove facing the islands off the northern tip.
History
The north coast was settled under the French and British as sugar and fishing country, and Pereybère stayed a quiet village until the late 20th century, when holiday homes and small hotels grew up around its cove next to busier Grand Baie.
People
Pereybère's people speak Mauritian Creole, with French and English widely used, and its beach is a favourite of Mauritian families and young people on weekends and holidays.
