Île aux Deux Cocos
Île aux Deux Cocos sits in the Blue Bay / Mahebourg lagoon and is run as a private leisure property, not a public beach. If a desk sells lunch or a day on it, that is a ticketed product with a boat from the southeast. It is not a ‘secret local island’. If you want a public marine-park morning, that is Blue Bay itself. If you want conservation, that is Île aux Aigrettes. Do not trespass.

Private property. Only with a booked operator. Lagoon swimming still needs sense.
