Bohužel velké zklamání. Možná jsme jen chytili špatný čas, viditelnost ve vodě nulová - nebylo vidět ani na krok. Kvůli tomu jsme hned přejeli na jinou pláž

Amazing beach,the most picturesque I've seen on Mahe. The water on the day we were there wasn't clear though, not sure why. But I would go there again definitely
