Week 2

 As Flic-en-Flacq is on the western coast of the island, the prevailing winds travel overland before they reach here. This usually makes the area the driest in the region, but beware of the odd summer storm!
The beach at Flic-en-Flacq has both public and private areas. All the private areas are owned by hotels and are regularly cleaned whereas the public beach is more untidy. Although the sand at the water's edge is soft and fine, most of the rest of the beach has coarser sand and chunks of coral. There are also quite large rocks and stones on the sea bed, so pack some shoes suitable for water sports if you think you will be getting active.
 If seclusion is your thing then a little walk will get you to a part of the beach that is between hotels. These areas have virtually no one on them and are perfect for taking time out.
If you stay at one of the beachside hotels, then you will be provided with upholstered sun-loungers, towels and parasols free of charge.
The official language is English but both French and English are used at school. However it's Creole (a kind of loose French) that seems to be the unofficial language that everyone speaks.
This is a great place to unwind, be pampered and take life at whatever pace suits you.
