Cap Malheureux is a picturesque village located at the northern tip of Mauritius, famous for its iconic red-roofed church, the Notre Dame Auxiliatrice. The village offers stunning views of the Coin de Mire Island and the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Cap Malheureux’s name, which means “Cape of Misfortune,” originates from the numerous shipwrecks that occurred in its waters during the colonial era. Despite its name, the village is a peaceful and idyllic spot, with small fishing boats dotting the shore and coconut palms swaying in the breeze. The serene atmosphere and beautiful scenery make Cap Malheureux a charming destination for those looking to experience the tranquil side of Mauritius.
