Derived from an Old Dutch phrase meaning 'Free and Flat Land', Flic en Flac is best known for its vibrant underwater world and extended white sand beaches.
Flic-en-Flac is home to several coconut trees, which offer many shady places to sit back and unwind. On a clear day, what more can you ask for apart from crystal clear water, white sand and a shady spot under a coconut tree? If you're more of an adrenaline junkie, fear not as Flic-en-Flac is also renowned for scuba diving and snorkeling. Grab your aqua gear and dive right into the azure waters. Camping too is a popular choice among locals as there is plenty of room along the 8km stretch of white sand. Flic-en-Flac hosts a vast array of local delicacies via food trucks. Some of the must try items are the rotis and pickles.
