With its pristine environment and abundance of sun,
Seychelles lures visitors to secluded beaches on its main islands of Mahe,
Praslin and La Digue.
SNA presents five of those beaches tourists tired of the
COVID era are now strolling upon.
Anse Cocos
Located on the third-most populated island of La Digue, Anse
Cocos along the coast of Petit Anse is for sure a beautiful sight for sore eyes
after a 45-minutes walk. Nestled in the eastern end of the island, visitors can
reach the secluded beach after a bike ride from Grand Anse and a leisurely walk
on a well-maintained trail.
For a whole day by yourself relax in the golden sun, soaking
in the shallow natural pools alongside plenty of shade from the coconut trees.
Anse La Farine, Baie Ste Anne
The small but calm and tranquil beach not too far from the
bustling centre of Baie Ste Anne on the island of Praslin offers visitors a
chance to enjoy peacefulness and nature at its best. The secluded beach is
easily reachable by a 30-minute walk on a demarcated trail.
Those not too keen on walking can go via boat booked prior.
Once there, visitors can enjoy the beach, be it swimming, snorkelling and even
weather permitting kayaking, in total seclusion.
Anse Georgette, Grand Anse
Another beauty on the second-most populated island of
Praslin is Anse Georgette. Isolated with a sandy white beach and crystal clear
water reflecting the blue skies, this sandy spot is a must for visitors to the
island.
The pristine beach will take your breath away with its
natural and well-preserved environment. Located not far from the Lemuria
Constance Resort, Anse Georgette can be reached after a 30-minute hike.
Anse Major, Bel Ombre
The small cove, with its little bay with gravel-like sand is
popular for its coral reef and what is described as an extravagant underwater
life. It's a snorkelling paradise. But reaching this secluded beach frequented
mostly by visitors requires some travelling, by car, on foot or by boat.
From the capital city of Victoria, it's a 20-minute car or
bus drive to Danzil in the northern Mahe district of Bel Ombre. From there it is
a one-hour hike through the Morne Seychellois National Park, with breathtaking
views of huge boulders and beautiful blue seas. The trail leads directly to the
beach.
Grand Police, Takamaka
No doubt the most pristine, wild and undisturbed beach on
the main island of Mahe, Grand Police greets visitors with miles of sandy white
beaches, which when it clashes with sunlight, nearly blinds you. Located down
south, Grand Police has been nominated as an area of outstanding beauty.
Reachable by car, the beach sits deserted in virgin lush
vegetation undisturbed by development. The area is also an important nesting
site for endemic sea turtles it also boasts one of the biggest wetlands of the
country. So whether you are a conservationist keen to enjoy mother nature at
its best or you simply want a place to be at peace with nature, Grand Police
awaits you!
