Sehr schöner Strand, hinter einer kleinen Wanderung verborgen. Festes Schuhwerk ist zu empfehlen. Es gibt einen kleinen Saftstand.

Probably the best beach in the Seychels, and you will be pretty much alone on top of it, worth the bike ride and the hike

It's a very cute and nice beach but there are a lot of undercurrents and high waves.
