Anse Georgette,Seychelles
Anse Georgette (Praslin, Seychelles) is famed for its pristine natural beauty — a classic Seychellois white-sand beach framed by granite boulders, palm trees and clear turquoise water. It is important as a scenic and recreational coastal site on Praslin and sits within an island landscape that includes the nearby UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai. The beach contributes to local tourism and supports coastal and marine biodiversity (coral reef, fish, and occasional sea turtle activity).
Places to visit
- The beach itself — powdery white sand and a sheltered bay
- Granite boulders framing dramatic scenes and calm swimming coves
- Crystal-clear turquoise water with nearby snorkeling areas
- Scenic viewpoints and excellent photography opportunities
- Proximity to Vallée de Mai (UNESCO) and other Praslin beaches (e.g., Anse Lazio)
- Constance Lémuria resort and its golf course nearby (visual landmark)
Unique Aspects
- Fine white sand and shallow, calm swimming areas
- Fringing coral reef and rocky points suitable for snorkeling
- Large, sculpted granite boulders typical of the Seychelles
- Relatively undeveloped, secluded feel compared with busier beaches
Things to do
- Swimming in calm, clear waters
- Snorkeling around the rocky points (bring your own gear for best experience)
- Sunbathing and relaxing under palm trees
- Photography — sunrise/late-afternoon light is exceptional
- Short coastal walks and light exploration of nearby coves
- Combining the visit with a trip to Vallée de Mai or Anse Lazio

From the main road the walk to the beach involves sandy and uneven paths; one popular route passes near or through resort grounds (ask at the hotel or use the public footpath).

Recommended Duration
Plan 2–4 hours for a relaxed visit (half day). Combine with nearby attractions (Vallée de Mai, Anse Lazio) for a full-day itinerary.
Clothing & Gear Tips
Bring swimwear, reef shoes or water sandals, snorkel gear (mask/snorkel), reef-safe sunscreen, hat, light cover-up, drinking water and a small dry bag. Carry insect repellent if visiting shaded/vegetated areas.
Local Food & Souvenirs
On Praslin you can enjoy fresh grilled fish, octopus curry, coconut-based desserts and local fruit. Souvenirs include vanilla pods, local crafts, handmade jewelry and miniature boat models. Avoid purchasing protected items (e.g., unlawfully collected shells or restricted coco-de-mer items) — buy from reputable shops.
