Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start from any central location in Rodrigues, such as the village of Port Mathurin. Head east on Route Royale, following the signs towards Grand Baie. After approximately 20 minutes, you will reach a fork; take the left lane to continue on Route Royale. Continue driving for another 15 minutes until you see signs for Grand Baie. Upon entering Grand Baie, follow the main road until you reach the beachfront area. Look for parking options nearby, as parking can be limited during peak tourist seasons.

Public Transportation

To reach Grand Baie Beach using public transportation, catch a local bus from Port Mathurin. Buses to Grand Baie operate regularly throughout the day. Look for the bus stop near the market area, and board a bus heading towards Grand Baie. The ride will take about 30-40 minutes. Make sure to have some Mauritian Rupees on hand for the bus fare, which is typically around 30-50 MUR (Mauritian Rupees). Once you arrive at the Grand Baie bus terminal, it's just a short walk to the beach. Follow the crowd or ask locals for directions to the beachfront.

Taxi

Another convenient way to reach Grand Baie Beach is by taking a taxi. You can hire a taxi from any major area in Rodrigues, such as Port Mathurin. It's advisable to negotiate the fare before starting your journey. The cost should range from 500 to 700 MUR, depending on your starting point. The drive will take approximately 20-30 minutes. Once you arrive, the taxi can drop you off close to the beach entrance, making it easy to access the shore.
