Thank you, I enjoyed watching your video. You are a positive, happy energy for me Is there Flik An Flak a very noisy night life for you I hope you answer quickly I love you
This was my hangout beach growing up as I only lived like 25mins drive away, went camping there with friends so many times. Loved it cos it's never as busy as the beaches up north. It's changed so much now, lots of new tourist apartments and condos around.
Flic en Flac is where we hope to be in November. Not a bad British accent Rikki. Are the Resorts open to general public for meals on the beach? Are they walking distance? I am trying not to get too excited just in case the virus stops us. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
@@dianeleahy5893 You can visit some of the resorts for a meal. it's about a two km walk, so yes, but you can also take a bus. Hope you get to come, it really is great
Really loved this video. What a delightful place Flic en Flac is. It has changed so much over the years - from a sleepy seaside picnic beach to a vibrant holiday resort with everything you could wish for. You guys make it even more appealing . Can't wait to see the place again !
Great place LOTS to see and do. Love your art of the day Riki. Beautiful Baobab. Flic en Flac on my bucket list even if just for a day visit. Maybe next year some time. Good tour thanks.
Hi Ricky and Bryan, it's amazing how flic en flac has changed since the seventies when I visited as a teenager. Its a beautiful place and a great beach. Many thanks for a great upload. Stay safe and take care. Steve 🇬🇧 UK.
As usual totally enjoyed both of your ‘discovery’ of Flic en Flac. Have fun, you rock ! 👍🏼🇲🇺 For a bit of history of Flic en Flac before it began this jungle of restaurants, holiday homes and hotels: 1. The only restaurant in Flic en Flac was the Chinese restaurant by the angle. A few metres away on the road leading to before the bend was a police station and a Chinese shop, and a bus stop. That’s all ... at the end of the road was the ONLY hotel: La Pirogue, and the cemetery. Not one bungalow was built there. As a member of the swimming club, sometimes I chose to go there for swimming instead of Pereybère, but the quality of the sea bed was of no comparison. Everywhere was planted with casuarinas, and beyond La Pirogue hotel was almost wild like a small forest patch. Nobody swam on that side. The development of what you know as Cascavelle was sugar cane field and beyond it was the point which joined the Macchabé forest and nature reserve. There was nothing there, no morcellement just acres of sugarcane fields, apart from Casela. All the hotels built had to clear a lot of rocks to make way for the beaches we see now. On a sweet note: the phenomenon of pickled fruits (confits) sold across the island and now a must have on beaches originated in Port Louis Chinatown. There has never been any pickled fruits sold in the countryside. People would prepare their own fruit salads from home when they go to the beach for a picnic. The first beach where a seller of confits appeared was Mon Choisy, and from there it picked up. Pereybère was a No-No zone for any street foods. There was only the Chinese restaurant there, and for very long they stood strong as a lobby not to have any sellers on the beach. Similarly, roti and dhal puri selling is a very recent phenomenon (2 decades +). They existed only in Port Louis, Flacq market, And Triolet. Now you find roti sellers on all the public beaches. The lime kiln on Flic en Flac has always remained pristine, but I was shocked to see it turn a dumping ground. A few more bins should be put on the beach for picnickers to use. A monument cannot be used to dump rubbish. Maybe you can pass such civic messages discretely in your videos, since you are so popular now. Monique Koenig ( Friends of the Earth) used to look after these kilns but now she is no more and no one bothers. All the best, continue your journeys and make the world discover all the unknown places to one and all. Thank you for the great job 👍🏼
Thank you so much for the great comment. I really enjoyed reading it. The real history is so often lost in the progress and as it doesn't seem as important as wars, the best bits get forgotten. Thanks again and I will use this information in future videos.
Wow, Thx for that awesome view of Flic on Flaq. Beautiful beaches. Can I just say how nice it is to see, clean beaches and roads. Lots of food stalls. How the mosquitoes in that area?
Another question, are the locals allowed to go on the beach in front of the resorts. Flic or Flaq has massive public beach, but nice to know if we would be able to go to the resorts beaches. Also could one eat like buffet breakfast at the resort or is it only for resort guests?
Yes, up to the high tide line. Most of the resorts do offer dining to non-guests. Not sure on the breakfast buffet, but probably. With some, you can get a day pass to use all their facilities.
Flic en Flac happens to have the longest wave in the Southern Hemisphere which has resulted in putting it on the world map for surfers. The rip and curl is non stop. Is also the second longest beach with the lagoon offering a live coral reef and no dangerous current.

Camping there must have been great. There is a lot of development still going on.

I should have said we are staying a few streets back from the new bar you showed.

Yes they are
Totally loved Flic en Flac

First beach we normally visit after landing in Mauritius. Really can't wait fro the restrictions to be lifted. I'm so jealous of you guys.
It really was a surprise to us. It is a must visit. I'm sure you will be there soon, I hope.
great image of the roast with the bottom of the lime oven and the beach.
It was really good, thanks
😍wow ....thx Bryan sir
Wow, Thx for that awesome view of Flic on Flaq. Beautiful beaches. Can I just say how nice it is to see, clean beaches and roads. Lots of food stalls. How the mosquitoes in that area?
Thank you for this trip. Looks like the place if looking to avoid the Grand Bay crowd.
It does get very busy as well though :)
Yes it was, but it will get busy again, I'm sure

Thx now I also know there is pork, we love pork belly. Are you Braai with wood or charcoal?
Charcoal, I have a connection at a woodworking factory, so sometime I get white oak or beech off cuts, they are the best braais.
