The waves are so strong that it's impossible to swim. Near the beach, there are some tortured turtles in an enclosure. You can also walk to Rockpool from this location, but I didn't make it there; the trail somehow ended.

A breathtakingly beautiful, wild beach. 🏝️ However, not very suitable for swimming.

Takamaka Beach is a beautiful beach, especially great for taking photos. The scenery is stunning and the whole place has a very relaxed tropical atmosphere. There is a restaurant right by the beach, and you can also buy fresh coconuts for 50 SCR. Definitely worth trying 🥥 There is also an enclosure with giant tortoises which is a great additional attraction. A really lovely place and definitely worth a visit when exploring Mahé. 🐢🌴📸
