La Tour Martello
About
La Tour Martello, on Mauritius, stands at J9W6+5P4 in Tamarin, a village on the island's western side. First-time visitors arriving here will find an attraction with a modest but settled following rather than a large commercial site.
An average of 4.3 out of 5 across 16 reviews suggests that those who make the trip tend to leave satisfied. Tamarin sits within reach of Port Louis, Flic en Flac and Le Morne, so the site can be folded into a drive along the west coast. Grand Baie, Pereybère and Beau-Vallon lie further north, while Belle Mare and Mahébourg sit on the opposite side of the island.
The website at https://www.ilemaurice.im/la-tour-martello-a-la-preneuse/ covers the attraction in more depth. Tamarin's position on the west coast makes it a natural stop for anyone touring that side of Mauritius.
Buses are the main public transport on Mauritius and traffic drives on the left, which is worth knowing before setting out. Creole cooking on the island uses rice, seafood, tomato rougaille and hot chilli paste, so a meal after a day of sightseeing is easy to find.
