Mahé:
Beau Vallon - The tourism hub of Mahé, this long stretch of beach is the place for water sports and recreational activities, as well as for eating out.

Intendance - The most vibrant hues of blue make this beach among the prettiest on Mahé.

Anse Royale - This beach with shallow waters resides next to a sleepy, old-fashioned community and a little island with a reef barrier offering safe and easy snorkelling.

Anse Soleil/Petit Anse - These two neighbouring beaches are among the most remote and picturesque throughout all of Mahé. Also offering some colourful snorkelling seascapes.

Port Launay - One of the most unique spots on Mahé, this stretch of beach is completely sheltered within a cove, making for perfect swimming for children of all ages.

Praslin:
Anse Georgette - This small but wonderfully picturesque beach lies adjacent to the five-star Lemuria Resort.

Anse Lazio - Arguably the most famous beach of Seychelles, Anse Lazio is often ranked at the top by international magazines as the most beautiful beach in the world.

La Digue:
Grand Anse - This long stretch of beach features striking blue water and interesting rock formations, and the beaches neighbouring it, Petit Anse and Anse Coco, are equally impressive. Currents can be strong during the South East season. Caution should be taken.
