Located on the east coast of the main island of Mauritius, Port Mathiran is an important port town outside the capital, Port Louis. Known for its tranquil fishing village atmosphere, beautiful coastal scenery and abundance of water sports, it is an ideal base for travelers exploring the east coast of Mauritius.
Backed by rolling hills and facing the Indian Ocean, Port Martiran is home to several natural bays and coral reefs. Famous white sandy beaches such as Bellemare Beach are dotted around the area and the waters are crystal clear for snorkeling and diving. It is also an important departure pier for outlying islands such as Kashima, where you can experience marine recreation such as sailing and fishing.
As a traditional fishing port, the area still retains its fishing industry and shipbuilding techniques, and the daily morning fish market is full of life. In recent years, tourism has grown rapidly, with resorts, golf courses and restaurants along the coast, blending Creole culture with international flavors. Sailing events are held every summer, attracting many sailing enthusiasts.
Port Martiran is conveniently located about 30 minutes from the Sir Sivasagur Ramgoolam International Airport. Its relative tranquility complements the bustle of the west coast for those seeking a relaxing vacation, and is an important hub on the island circuit linking Granby in the north and Blue Bay in the south.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
