This island is strictly protected to allow Giant tortoises to prosper.
Reviewed By Samsiebabes - Edwalton, United Kingdom
We absolutely loved our trip to see the giant tortoises. They’re such amazing creatures. We would recommend taking fruit if you want to feed them - you can’t get food there and they’re trying to protect the plants so don’t take branches off the plants. We didn’t want to do an organised tour so got dropped off by Sagittarius boats (they have a Facebook) - it was reasonable and only took about 15 minutes. It was a simple little boat but much cheaper than the tours and they let us choose how long we wanted to spend (we did 2.5 hours) and it was exactly what we needed. We then went on the walk across the island to the Scott’s house. This was hot and uneven ground so we’d recommend trainers, hats and water. The beach at the end was really beautiful not much shade. There were Toilets on both sides but not nicest facilities.

Deserving of its reputation as one of the best beaches in the Seychelles, arguably one of the best in the World. Turquoise waters, fine golden sand, lofty palms right up to the shore line and shouldered by giant granite boulders at each end of the bay. You may find you're pinching yourself to make sure its not all a dream. Snorkeling was great just behind the granite rocks at the far end of the bay near Bonbon Plume, plenty of other people here too so follow the snorkels! Note - Bonbon Plume was still closed for refurbishment when we visited in August.

This is the place that I will remember forever - very picturesque and extremely beautiful. It is easily accessed passing through the L'Union estate (entrance is 115 rupees) where you can see giant turtoises, vanilla plantations, coconuts plantations including old colonial house, remaining working mill, cemetery from the colonial days that contains the early settlers graves and various vegetation. The beach itself is stunning ... picturesque .... with ‘out of this world rock formations ‘... all surrounded by lush vegetation on one side and white sand and crystal turquoise sea on the other. In spite of being more crowded than other beaches on the island there are plenty of places to sit and hide .... and there is no shortage of shaded areas... also it is a good place for swimming and snorkelling There are plenty of facilities nearby ... small snack places, renting of kayaks etc. Definitely place not to miss.

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.

Really awesome beach. The waves were gentle and the water really clear. Just a few metres into the beach we had the best snorkelling experience in the Seychelles. We saw hundreds of brightly coloured fish, a huge sting ray, manta ray and so many other beautiful marine life. The beach itself isn’t quite smooth as it has corals on the sea bed but that not withstanding, the beach is really pretty. Sunsets and sunrises from here were mind blowing. The beach is great even for kids. We stayed right on the beach thanks to Anse Severe beach villas which I totally recommend. There are guys on the beach which sell fresh fruit juices for 100Rupees. There is enough space to stow away your bikes, and also enough trees to provide shade. This beach is just beautiful, and I totally recommend.

Reviewed By Shelleyash - San Diego, United States
Absolutely beautiful beach! The water is more beautiful than Source D’Argent. It has the huge boulders and green tropical plants and unbelievably blue shades of water. There are waves in February so it’s not a good place to snorkel. There is limited shade on this small beach. Unfortunately it is very small. It’s the beach at the Patatran hotel. You can park your bike in a bike parking lot on the other side of the street. It’s about a 10-15 minute bike ride from the jetty. It is right after Anse Severe at the north end of the island.

Reviewed By Sean159 - Bury St. Edmunds, United Kingdom
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.....
