• Cap Malheureux - About the Red Church at Cap Malheureux

One of the most famous churches in Mauritius is the Notre Dame Auxiliatrice Chapel, a Roman Catholic Church known for its striking red roof against the bright turquoise sea and azure sky.

Located ten minutes from Grand Bay, the small fishing village of Cap Malheureux translates to “Unfortunate/Unhappy Cape” due to the many ships that have floundered there in the past.

The Notre Dame Auxiliatrice Church is renowned for its charming red roof, attracting many curious visitors and providing a picturesque backdrop for memorable photos. Founded in 1938, this simple chapel is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is ideally situated at the northernmost point of Mauritius, offering stunning views of the five northern islets, including Coin de Mire (Gunner’s Quoin).

This Roman Catholic Church draws numerous visitors and worshippers. On Sunday mornings, many tourists join the mass. The church and the beach behind it are popular spots for newlyweds to take photos, so encountering couples here is common. The beach allows you to soak up the sun and enjoy the view, while children can play in the white sand and explore aquatic life in the rock pools. Fishermen frequently dock with fresh catches.
