The Rivière du Poste Estuary is located in the south of the island of Mauritius, in the Grand Port District, near L’Escalier village. The Rivière du Poste is the second largest river in the country, and its mouth in the Indian Ocean is a protected natural place, which cannot really be considered an estuary itself, but rather an arm of the sea that goes into the land.
