Best beaches on Praslin IslandRent a car and drive around the nearly deserted Praslin Island: you’ll discover one secluded beach after the other – perfect for making your footprints the only set in the sand. Anse LazioDiscover the idyllic beach of Anse Lazio located in Bay Chevalier on the north-west corner of Praslin Isle. This photogenic beach is a perfect crescent of soft, fine-grained white sand, fringed by stands of Takamaka and palm trees that extend past huge rounded granite boulders into the crystal clear turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. A sheltered area to the east of the beach is protected by a reef and is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The water is shallow, warm and safe. There are no sports rental facilities here so make sure you bring your own snorkel gear. The seaside ‘feet in the sand’ Bon Bon Plume restaurant is an excellent lunch spot offering superb Creole cooking. For shade use the palm trees, but beware of falling coconuts and remember to bring enough water to last the day, as you’re far from any shops. Anse GeorgetteUnwind on the soft powder-white sand of this stunning beach that lies framed by granite boulders, with good snorkelling and swimming. Arrive by sea or stay longer at Lémuria Resort. Anse la BlagueA secluded beach near the port, ideal for snorkelling. Walk along the shore past Petite Anse and up the hill towards Anse la Farine (on the other side of the headland) for stunning views over Le Ronde and to La Digue Island. Anse VolbertA sheltered and gently shelving beach also ideal for families. Stroll along the beach or snorkel around the boulders at the northern end and around nearby Chauve Souris Island or St Pierre Islet. |
