Definitely one of the best beaches of Seychelles, if not the world. Not very child-friendly, but not as rough a sometimes described either. It is the perfect beach in terms of sand, sea and vegetation. At it has some waves which add to the fun.

Beautiful beach but is not safe for swimming. Big waves and one should not underestimate the strong currents there. It is a great place to vist, but surely not for swimming or the beach to take your kids.

Very nice beach with small waves and a small number of people. The only thing on the beach go to a strange-looking local

Very nice large bay with good access. Rather rocky in places and sometimes quite rough sea conditions but stunning.

The best beach on Mahe. It's necessary to try it on. Water was cleanest, waves were so soft and sand was so white. Amazing. Near the beach Banyan Tree Hotel is situated. It's expensive but service was excellent.

This is the beach you fantasise about. Beautiful scenery and clear blue ocean. You can't swim out far here as there is a rip, but you can splash around. It's all natural beauty here!
