PRASLIN
ISLAND - SEYCHELLES - BEACHES
Praslin's
main beach, Côte d'Or, also known as Volbert, sits on the northeastern coast.
It's the island's main resort area, with dazzling white sand and superlative snorkelling
offshore around the islets of Chauve Souris and St Pierre.
Getting
to Anse Lazio, at the north of Praslin, involves a long, winding drive, but is
more than worth it. Perhaps the most picturesque beach in the Seychelles, Lazio
is beautifully framed with statuesque granite rocks and lapped by crystal clear
waters.
If some of the
other beach-goers at Anse Source d'Argent seem especially good looking and well
dressed (or undressed) it's because this beach is a favourite spot for modelling
and film shoots. But there's plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the deliciously
clear waters (shallow and sheltered by a reef) and the enormous granite boulders
that have been sculpted by the elements for millennia.
Visitors
coming here via the adjacent Union Plantation are charged a US$3 entry fee.
Swimmers
are advised to steer clear of the strong undertow on Grand Anse, though surfers
seem to enjoy pitting their skills against the waves here. The current is also
strong at neighbouring Petit Anse, which despite its name is reasonably grandiose.
Swimmers should head to northernmost tip of La Digue, where Anse Patates, near
the village of Patatran, is blessed with soft white sand and calm seas.
The
best beach on Desroches is Bombe Bay. Accessible only on foot or by bike, it has
a vast expanse of white sand that's ideal for exploring and sunbathing throughout
the year.
On Silhouette,
Anse La Passe is bordered by a hotel, while Anse Lascars, on the eastern side
of the island, can be reached only on foot or by boat. It takes its name from
ancient tombs believed to be the final resting place of two dozen Arab sailors
whose dhow was wrecked here.
And
on Frégate, the lush vegetation contrasting with the translucent ocean
is the star quality that brings beach lovers to Anse Victorin.
