Rodrigues' major tourist attraction is Ile aux Cocos, which is increasing in popularity.
A strip of sand where hundreds of seabirds have taken refuge, located 4 km west of the mainland of Rodrigues, emerges from the lagoon. The island is a great place for bird watchers to visit because it is home of different species, including White Schooners (Goélettes blanches), Virgin Birds (Z'oiseaux la vierge), Sooty Terns (yéyé), and "macouas, maleines."
Along its stunning, long, sandy beaches, Ile aux Cocos Island is home to a wide variety of thorny shrubs, casuarina trees, and coconut trees. Occasionally, the journey becomes an adventure.
Enjoy a whole day of island as you sail the crystal-clear waters to this slice of heaven. This stunning island never ceases to astound tourists. Its long, gorgeous beaches allow you to spend hours in the sun, refreshing yourself in the water, or taking a snorkelling break to take in the colourful marine life. Not only is it a paradise for beach lovers, but it's also a sanctuary for bird watchers, harbouring a variety of uncommon avian species.
