Along Grand Bay beach you will see filaos trees as almost along all the beaches of the island. The filaos trees is a name that was given to the casuarinas trees by the Mauritian. The casuarinas are endemic to Australasia islands western Pacific Ocean and south-eastern Asia. The filaos as called in Mauritius is a genus of seventeen species. The casuarinas also get fruits which are oval, woody looking like a conifer cone with lots of carpels each of them containing single seeds. In Mauritius the Mauritian often sits under the casuarinas trees and should be careful because the fruits may fall down on you and you feel it as it is hard and woody.
