Anse Source D’Argent Beach

About 40 miles away from Mahe, It is one of the most stunning beaches in Seychelles and also one of the most photographed ones.

Good timing is essential in order to avoid high tides and huge crowds here. The water is shallow here so you may wade in the crystal clear blue waters and if lucky, you may even spot a sea turtle swimming off the shore.

Anse Cocos Beach

A 30-minute trek from Grand Anse, this secluded beach flaunts a stunning stretch of sand and beautiful boulders.

It is not safe to swim here but in case you are tempted to take a cool dip, head to the far side of the beach to find a natural pool surrounded by boulders.
