<p><span style="font-weight:400;">On the west coast of the island republic of <strong><a href="https://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/mauritius-islands-africa" target="_blank">Mauritius</a></strong>, 1,134 kilometers (705 miles) out in the <strong>Indian Ocean</strong> east of <strong>Madagascar</strong> (and about an hour from capital <strong>Port Louis</strong>), <strong>Tamarin</strong> was once a humble village devoted to fishing and salt panning, but in recent years has been transformed by tourism, especially as a surfing spot, and now has a diverse raft of lodging options, from self-catering apartments to four-star resorts. <strong>Tamarin Bay</strong> also has its own pod of dolphins, and spotting them is another favorite activity for visitors. Here are a half dozen of the top visitor draws in the area:</span></p>
