Why are coconut palms so common on beaches in Mauritius?

Coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) thrive in Mauritius due to the island's tropical climate, sandy soils, and high humidity. Their salt-tolerant roots and ability to withstand strong winds make them ideal for coastlines. Introduced centuries ago by traders and settlers, they now define the island's landscape and provide shade, food, and building materials for local communities.
