The beaches in Seychelles

Lined with coconut palms and takamakas, the white sandy beaches of Seychelles are often surrounded by large granite rocks. This type of landscape is mainly discovered on the islands of Mahé, Praslin, La Digue and Saint-Anne. To take advantage of these paradisiacal beaches of these Seychelles islands, we advise you to plan your trip in March, April, May or June. As the water is warm all year round, these months will allow you to avoid the tourist crowds of summer and end of year celebrations so you can indulge in exploring the seabed in peace. In the Seychelles, the beaches are also a good opportunity to relax, swim, try paddle, kayak or even snorkelling.

Snorkeling is possible on many beaches of the Seychelles islands, but the best snorkeling spot is the island of Praslin and its white sand beach Anse Lazio - considered as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches to the world! Snorkelers can head over go to the Sainte-Anne Island National Marine Park with their masks and snorkel anongst the underwater fauna. Located less than 5 km off Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, the island of Saint-Anne is easily accessible by sea. You can discover coral reefs - as on the island of La Digue - but also observe a huge underwater meadow of granite bench, a typical sight of the Seychelles islands. The warm waters of the Indian Ocean include many tropical species such as manta rays during the period between April and December. Swimming during tropical maritime species is an incredible experience during your vacation in Seychelles where there is no shortage of beaches. Mahé Island, Praslin Island, Saint-Anne Island and La Digue Island… All of these Seychelles islands are full of beautiful beaches for a breath-taking experience!
