You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Tamarin (4823918620).jpg|thumb|Tamarin Bay]]
'''Tamarin''' (((IPA-mfe|tamaʁɛ̃))) is a village on the western coast of [[Mauritius]]. It has long been the seat of the council [[Districts of Mauritius|district]] of [[Rivière Noire District|Rivière Noire]] (Black River). The district council recently moved to its new headquarters in [[Bambous, Mauritius|Bambous]], this village being more accessible to the villagers.

An old fisherman village, Tamarin has developed into a residential area and a moderated holiday resort. Tamarin is especially popular with [[surfer]]s.

The village is surrounded by hills and is very picturesque. It is located next to Black River, another fisherman's village on the west coast of the island.

Tamarin has benefited from continuous development in recent years including a new commercial and leisure area as well as a new primary school.

== Tamarin Bay ==
The area was known as Santosha Bay (you'll still find the word 'Santosha' scribbled on a few buildings in faded paint) and offered wave hunters some of the best surfing on the planet. In fact, before the bay earned the name Santosha, locals refused to give the beach a moniker because they didn't want outsiders to discover their cache of surfable seas!<ref>((Cite web|title = Tamarin Beach - Lonely Planet|url = http://www.lonelyplanet.com/mauritius/west-mauritius/tamarin/sights/beaches-islands-waterfronts/tamarin-beach|website = Lonely Planet|accessdate = 2015-10-13))</ref>

Tamarin Bay was discovered by a wider audience and immortalised after the release of the classic surf documentary "Forgotten Island of Santosha" by Larry and Roger Yates in 1974.<ref>((Cite web|title = Forgotten Island of Santosha|url = https://www.surfertoday.com/surf-movies/forgotten-island-of-santosha|website = www.surfertoday.com|accessdate = 2015-10-13))</ref> Tamarin has two world renowned surfing spots: ‘Dal’ on its left (south) and ‘Black Stone’ on the right (north) of the bay.

Dolphins are often found close to Tamarin Bay. Both Spinners and Bottlenose dolphins are usually seen playing early in the morning in the bay before going back to the open sea. Various boat companies offer trips to watch and swim with dolphins in the mornings.<ref>((Cite web|title = Tamarin Bay Beach ((!)) Discover Mauritius|url = http://www.discovermauritiusisland.com/discover/beaches/tamarin-bay/|website = www.discovermauritiusisland.com|accessdate = 2015-10-13))</ref> Tamarin is very famous for their apartments and long service that they offer to tourists.

== Salt Pans ==
[[File:Woman gathering salt in the salt marshes.jpg|thumb|Woman gathering salt]]
Tamarin is the main salt pan in Mauritius. Its hot and dry environment provides ideal conditions for salt making. The pans cover an area of about 30 hectares and can be seen from the main coastal road.

Salt production dates back to the French period and the tradition of its making is almost unchanged after nearly two centuries. Water is pumped directly from the nearby sea and allowed to evaporate in the basins. Salt is harvested a few days later.<ref>((Cite web|title = Salt Pans - La Saline - Mauritius Tourist Guide|url = http://www.mauritius-tourist-guide.mu/listings/tourist-attractions/salt-pans-la-saline/|website = Mauritius Tourist Guide|accessdate = 2015-10-13|language = en))</ref><ref>((Cite web|title = La Route du Sel ((!)) Discover Mauritius|url = http://www.discovermauritiusisland.com/discover/visits/la-route-du-sel/|website = www.discovermauritiusisland.com|accessdate = 2015-10-13))</ref>

By 2012 cheap imports (mostly from India) had been allowed and the production became uneconomic except for niche high value [[fleur de sel]]. By 2017 the main salt pans have stopped functioning and are being developed for housing and amenities.

== Transport ==

Tamarin is connected to Quatre Bornes and Port Louis by a Highway which together with all the other Main Roads are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure.<ref>((Cite web|title = Situation ((!)) Welcome to the District Council of Black River|url = http://brdc.mu/about-us/situation|website = brdc.mu|accessdate = 2015-10-13))</ref>

Tamarin is near the terminus of the west line of Mauritius' former railway system.
