Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Idyllic little beach that almost completely disappears at high tide. Since the beach is very small it is relatively densely populated (at least by Seychelles standards)

This might be the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. We were coming here on bikes and as we were approaching it on the road I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was yet another beach looking like rendered by AI that we saw on La Digue. Absolutely unbelievable. I wish we could spend there more time.
