Tamarin is a small fishing village situated on the West coast of Mauritius and is only a short drive from Flic en Flac. Tamarin is a popular surfing spot on the island and is also the place for the main salt pan in Mauritius – Les Salines. Over the years, Tamarin has seen considerable residential development and is becoming a moderate touristy town. Some people prefer to stay in quiet Tamarin during their stay in Mauritius instead of neighbouring buzzing Flic en Flac
