The Seychelles islands have many beaches, some spectacular and highly popular, others quieter and more secluded.

Beau Vallon on Mahe has several hotels along the beach and offers a variety of sports such as windsurfing, water skiing and parachuting. Grande Anse on La Digue can have waves of up to nine feet, making it an ideal surfing beach. Anse a la Mouche, Anse Forbans, Anse Royale, Anse Takamaka, Anse Soleil, Anse aux Pinson Mahe andAnse La Reunionon La Digue have calm shallow waters, which makes it excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Much loved by loners is Anse Intendance on Mahe orAnse Cocoson La Digue, as it is secluded and lovely to get away from the crowds. These are only a few examples of the wonderful beaches of the Seychelles.
