This is a really beautiful beach with special rock formations. Bear in mind there is a SCR150 ticket fee but it is beautiful. Sea is shallow and snorkelling can be done. There is fish to be seen. I saw stingrays, squids, coral fish. Do come!

AVOID paying for entrance. It’s a public beach and it’s totally free but you have to walk along the shore and not enter via the Plantation/ Estate gate!! Beautiful, popular, quite crowded. Better to come in the morning or for sunset (good to have a torch). Good for pics, not so great for swimming, lovely walk all the way to the last stretch of sand. You can rent a kayak here and paddle yourself to the “Robinson beach”. Taking a kayak trip with one of the two companies makes no sense imho (unless you don’t know how to kayak)

Crowded here. We went by the coast with a bikes and it was very nice. Found little bar by the beach and on a way stopped to see turtles. Beach itself not suitable for swimming as a lot of corals and sea shells. Make sure you have water shoes. However, it’s amazing trail, a lot of souvenir shops and beautiful nature.

It's a bit rocky for swimming but the water is so clear and pure it's amazing. Beautiful scenery around the area, rocks and the coconut, and Takamaka trees give it an amazing and relaxing view. The waves are lesser than on Pralin beaches but still wavy. Bars and restaurants available nearby, snorkelling, kayaking, tortoises, hiking, and so on. Amazing 😃😃😃

So far the most beautiful beach I've ever been. Those granite rocks are magnificent. It's a bit difficult to swim because of the rocky bottom. I would say it's definitely a place to take wonderful pictures.

Very nice beach with a natural reserve. Day pass allows you to enter and exit as many times you want during the day. Can be a bit overcrowded during peak season. Walk down the path to explore all the beaches. Good for kids since there’s some shade under the trees and it’s not rocky.

Very beautiful beach, the most crowded one in Seuchelles, but if you go to the further one, there is less crowd. Amazing boulders, I expect that you can get those famous shots when water level is high. Unfortunately the water level was very low, so lots of corals, algae and mushy sand.

Definetly best tourist beach in the world. However is so full of tourists, is very hard to take a picture alone. The best season is April-May for insane colorful waters. You definetly need an accomodation in this island for min 2 days just to see the beaches arround and start early in the morning before ferries bring a tsunami of tourists.
