11h30am, mid April and we were alone in this wonderful beach. I couldn't believe it.

A nice little secluded place. Where you can relax with swings, beach etc. If you explore the rocks carefully you can go mudskipping. Cute animals

This is one of my favourite places in the Seychelles. The lagoon is quiet and secluded. If you are not a great swimmer then the beach to the left is really accessible. There is quite a strong current on the right beach if you venture too far into the sea

Very beautiful bay. In the morning, before the tide, the shallow water on the left creates a delightful mini beach. If you arrive first, it's practically like having a private beach.
