Anse Major
Top 4 in Top 13 Best Beaches In Seychelles
Anse Major is a hidden jewel on Mahé's northwest coast that can only be reached by foot or boat. There are no roads leading to this hidden paradise, so you'll have to park and hike in, which could take 30 to 60 minutes. The reward: breathtaking views of the coast from atop a granite cliff, as well as a serene atmosphere that's hard to better. You're not a walker? There are also water taxis available.
When your feet touch the soft, pristine sand, you'll know your journey was worthwhile. The famous blue sea of the region hugs the shore, which is surrounded by a lush green jungle. The calm ocean makes this one of the safest swimming spots on the island.
Insider's Tip: Go to the beach early in the morning (before 9) to avoid the heat, as the walk offers minimal shade. Also, because there are no utilities here, bring plenty of water, snacks, and anything else you might need for the beach.
