May to September (cooler, generally drier and clearer skies). Avoid visiting during the cyclone season (January–March) or during very rough sea advisories.

Tropical maritime climate — warm year-round (roughly 20–30°C). Coastal conditions can be windy and the surf near the arch can be strong and unpredictable.

Typically free to visit and view from public vantage points. Open at all hours, but daytime visits are recommended for safety and visibility. There are usually no formal facilities (toilets/visitor center) at the immediate site.

Accessible by car with a short walk over uneven, rocky ground. Not wheelchair accessible. Exercise caution near cliff edges and on wet rocks; strong waves can reach viewpoints. Nearest towns (for services) are in the south coast region (Souillac / Baie du Cap). The main international airport is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (SSR), approximately a 1–1.5 hour drive depending on traffic.

30 minutes to 2 hours (longer if combining with other south-coast attractions).

Sturdy closed shoes for uneven rock, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), light rain jacket, and a reusable water bottle. Avoid sandals on slippery rocks; keep a safe distance from the water edge.

While there are limited facilities at the site, nearby towns offer Mauritian specialties such as seafood dishes, dholl puri, and fresh tropical fruits. Popular souvenirs to pick up in the region include local rum, vanilla pods, sugar products, and handcrafted textiles or woodwork.
