10 Beaches in Mahe Island That You Shouldn't Miss
The Seychelles largest and main island, Mahe is home to the capital of Victoria and about 70,000 people (almost 90% of the nation's total). Still, the island retains its idyllic beauty, with 3,000-foot mountains and scores of gorgeous beaches. Many plants, including the so-called Jellyfish Tree and several rare orchids, are unique to Mahe's shores. The Seychelles Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens and the Codevar Craft Centre, all in Victoria, are not to be missed.

Drive toward the four seasons hotel. When you arrive at the security hut between the roads, take the road on the left, sign in, and walk down the road 10 min staying to right, At the beach there is a swing, activities for hire, soft sand, boulders, lush green foliage, snorkel rental, and food. The water is unbelievably blue, with no waves when we visited in February. When you walk down the isn’t good signage- you mostly stay to the right.

Having traveled around the whole island we found this to be by far the best little beach to while away the hours. The hotel adjacent will kindly let you park your car in their car park in exchange for a visit to their bar, fair exchange being no robbery and all they, the snorkelling is really good as the bay isn’t as milky as beau Vallon and there’s plenty of fish not afraid of humans as they are fed by the hotel. The most people we saw on the beach was around ten... so not crowded, posting this as we are about to leave and didn’t want to let the secret out and spoil it before we left.....

A long beach surrounded by mountains with a clear intense blue water. The view is magnificent, even in a rainy day as when I was there. Rains can be quite quick, so after 15 minutes of rain, the sun comes out and the colors of the sky and the water are just amazing. Few cheap take away places for food, relaxed ambience, this is a beautiful place to spend the day.

The beach is lovely, though the sea is a bit rough on this side of the island. However, that said this has got to be on your list of places to visit, this is where you can see the Giant Tortoise, amazing!
